For some days I observe wild fluctuations in granted credits. See here:

Such fluctuations are not normal on this host. Some results however show normal variations, see my results history:

Could be coincidence but perhaps a staff member wants to check whether the credit granting is working properly.

more suspicious WUs:

Those are way out of line, I suggest a staff member to check the credit granting process.

To my knowledge, these fluctuations are caused by the credit system as discussed here.

Yeah I know that the credit system causes fluctuations and I observe them for two years now. Fluctuations are inherent in the credit granting system. However I'm not talking about the fact that there are fluctuations, but about the magnitude of them. Right now I have the feeling the fluctuations are greater than usual. I recall that in the past the credit system had a hiccup which caused unreasonable credit granting and it was fixed after it was posted. However it seems not a widespread anomality so I'm probably just a bit unlucky right now.

edit: By the way, that was me explaining the new credit system. ;-)
