The team I joined has a "Friday Flushday" policy, meaning we postpone all uploads 'till friday.

Now I only enable network on fridays for uploads and to download enough WU's in stock for a week of computing. My computers are not always on so this makes it hard to estimate.
Ofcourse finished WU's should always be uploaded before deadline.

A "don't send results" button would make life easier for me.

Just to have a significant score for one day in a week. :-)

Couldn't you accomplish the same thing by "disabling network access" until you are ready to report your results?

I can, but when I disable my network access I can't get any new WU's either. In fact that's how I try to accomplish it now. But it's hard to estimate the number of WU's for some projects. Especially Predictor and SZTAKI DG have small units with a short deadline, so I can't postpone a flush till the next week.
A simple "don't send" button would make it a lot easier.
