Is there a problem with the stats graphs?

[TeAm Deception.Net]

Check out my person stats page (http://www.seventeenorbust.com/stats/users/user.mhtml?userID=10544)
Why are there those huge spikes in the graphs? I see others on Team AnandTech with similar spikes but don't see them on other teams that i've looked at.

Also, i logged into my account. There are 4 tests in my pending tests with an IP address i don't recognize. What's up with that?
Another person on our team also has unknown IP addresses in his pending test area.

if someone's crunching for me with 1000M of power from 4 cpus, I'm not complaining, but I suspect there's more to it than that.

Hi,

It appears as if a member from team Anandtech has returned results for various users on team anandtech. What he has done is reported the results as different users from a test he's already partially crunched. The server sees this as "unexpected" but still scores it. It will eventually time out and the scores will reflect this, but in the mean time it gets an unexpected result for a test that's been partially crunched and it sees this as "hey they went from 0% to 45% in X time" and that results in a very high cEM/s.

I'm not sure if the person is doing this on purpose or by accident, but either way it's not appreciated and makes the stats look misleading.

I could ban the IP address for the time being, but I'd prefer if someone could bring this to team Anandtech's attention and hopefully that user will stop..

Thanks for the info. We'll try to get thinks figured out.
