adding Sourcefinder (with no WUs) to the whitelist and its effects

Here is a quick summary of the events from the last 3 weeks: 


July 12:  

July 26:  

  • poll finished, but it will take now 9 days to add the project into the superblock (on August 3)
  • I post my concerns about the validity/legitimacy of this and the other 4 polls (see here)


August 3:  

August 4:  

  • WU status: "ETA is another few weeks unfortunately." (reply by the organization that is "responsible" for Sourcefinder)
  • I tweet: repeating the 5 whitelist polls from July (mag zero,...) would have been much less 'PR damage' than what we've now
  • reply by Sourcefinder admin here
  • a new superblock came today, and strangely the total magnitude even increased, for less users (see here)

August 5:

  • after 57h SourceFinder was removed from the whitelist (see here). The ongoing poll to remove it has become useless now.

  • see comments below: it seems: all users with RAC < 10 will be filtered out, so it'll be progressively more unfair.
  • btw: the 9 Sourcefinder users were anonymized, b/c it is not their fault: they just got lucky and profit from it
