Withdraw, delete or report a run

Take your score off its board, delete a job from Your bench, or ask the maintainers to remove a run.

Withdraw a score before you delete its job: the Withdraw button is on the job's page.

Withdraw a score

Withdrawing takes a score off its board for good. You can't undo it, and you can't publish a withdrawn job again.

  1. Open Your bench and open the job.

  2. Press Withdraw.

  3. Press Withdraw for good? to confirm.

The job's page then shows Withdrawn. A run you issued still counts toward your limits on the board.

Delete a job

Deleting takes the job's results, trajectories, logs and files off Your bench and frees its storage. It doesn't take the job's score off its board, so withdraw the score first.

  1. Open Your bench and open the job.

  2. Press Delete job.

  3. Type the job's name to confirm, and press Delete job.

You can't undo it. The site keeps the job's record, hidden, and Limits says how long its files stay in storage. You can upload the same folder again as a new private job.

A job that had a score

A job counts once, even after you delete it. If you published it, or uploaded it with its run token, its score stays as it was. The site also keeps the job's hbench id and each trial's task, start, finish and token counts, so it recognises the job when anyone uploads it again, under any name.

That copy stays private. Your bench offers it no board, and publishing it, or uploading it with the run token, is refused with hbench job <id> was published before, and a job is published once: run the benchmark again for a new result (bench-published-before). A copy whose job id was changed gets the same message, starting a trial of <task> was published before.

For a new score, run the benchmark again and upload the new job. Troubleshooting has the details.

Report a run

Report a run when its score can't be right, when it breaks the terms, when its board is on an unreviewed dataset that imitates a known one, or when it's yours and you can't withdraw it, such as a score whose job you deleted.

  1. Sign in with GitHub and open Report a submission.

  2. Give the entry's name as its board shows it, its run number, or both.

  3. Under What's wrong, say what you saw and where, in 10 to 2,000 characters.

  4. Press Send report.

The page confirms with the report's number, and the person you reported never sees who you are. A maintainer looks at the run and either leaves it or takes it down for one of the take-down reasons. The public audit log shows each take-down with its reason and a short note, which never names you or the person you reported. What maintainers find abused can join the deny list.

You can send 5 reports an hour. Report a security problem by email instead, as the security page says. For anything else, email hello@nodeq.tech.
