What happened to team Dutch Power Cows, it seems it's renamed to INTERNATION?

It seems the team ownership changed as well?

It would be nice if (a) project admin could respond in a timely manner, as this is a serious matter (at least to us).

Hi guys,

What happened was that the user who hijacked the team put in a request to transfer ownership, then the time period in which the owner can decline this expired, at which point the team was transferred. This user has done to several teams and renamed them to INTERNACION (most notably perhaps, this happened to the Gridcoin team) and has been warned / banned, but of course banning is imperfect.

I've reinstated RobertN as the owner as per email communication with him. I'm going to look into changing the policy for team ownership transfer, it is too easy to abuse I think.
