Because of the score-based system, I keep losing a lot of my earnings when a miner crashes for whatever reason.  It's pretty frustrating to have 100-200 shares and have a score of 80.  I guess, now that I read this, it's because of a DDOS (nothing on the site that said this, just a barely noticeable item saying point it to api2, which btw, since you had that old one saying point to api, I didn't even see it for the longest time.) 
So I appreciate all the earnings, but I also don't like getting punished b/c of the score system, when my disconnects are not because I'm trying to scam the pool.  They're just routine crashes.   
Couldn't you change the score system--why should I have a score of 80 with 100 shares, and have my other miners have scores of 10ks or whatever they are, and have like 150 shares?  Ie. be much kinder for disconnected miners.
