ROFL.... what a toolbag.

So should the guys taking up for him be combed over for cheats as well? Birds of a feather, you know....


It would be nice to have the bot cleaned up.... I see a lot of older submissions that need to be scrutinized closely. ...and I mean a LOT. :keeporder:

But as long as their is a competition in anything people will try to find away around the rules :thumbdown:

There should be a method for finding these guys and beating them with in an inch of their lives ........

That may be a bit extreme though ............. LOL

arent we the extreme guyz???

ROFL ..............

Face man I have never really looked at any posts there ....

only when looking to see what flavor card and mem size the top guys are using ...

Not sure if it is our place to police that site ...... Plus I am sure everyone would start busting our balls as well ... I know I have made a few mistakes in mine

Just had a Vantage run hit for physics .... it was not intentional probably just a late night drunkin overclocking sesion and I missed it in the control panel .... :ohcrap:

I had no problem though with someone pointing it out ... Just a mistake
I also had a few that I had cores inserted not CPU's .... Had a gold for 4 cores on a prime run ............ LOL

Splave pointed it out to me that there were looking for CPU's not cores

so it is hard to say ... this one was blatent with intent .. but I would hate to see someone banned for a simple mistake .....

FACE 05-19-2010 05:56 AM

Oh, I didn't mean with the intent of banning..... I could care less if someone gets banned or not. I have to admit it does make me smile though.

Although I find it hard to believe some of these scores, especially 3d scores, that are impossible to even come close too at the same or better clocks and timings, even more so when you know you have everything running to the max efficiency. We're not idiots, and it is easy to see a score that stinks.... Hell, I can run SLI/CF, disable the link after the bench, and crank the gpu clock at idle for the screenie... any retard can do that.

It's hard to determine though from a moderation stand point. I get that. The bencher should have to be able to produce multiple results and show more info on the hardware when asked.... if that can't happen then the sub should be bunked.... Those who put up 3dmark scores 2000 marks above the pack should be forced to give multiple screenies showing all info possible, and the futuremark/orb link shit needs to be put away...

I'm a "show me" kind of guy. Orb links are absolute shit to me... a lot of you already know that. :Hi: Too easy to fake it unless the scrennie is there... If it's good for one, it should be good for all. Older subs that passed the "rules" back then that do not now should have an asterisk next to it, and orb links should only be a partial validation. BOOM there goes the dynamite. :cool3:

Let them dick with it.

1 out 10,000 out there... Good for HWbot but those bans should be given in daily basis...

rickss69 05-19-2010 07:08 AM

I normally only flag if someone is in my way or if it is just ridiculous and I happen to run across it.

Sad thing is if the 'cheater' worked for one of the sponsors of the website they would have way more then only 2 chances.

^ this is sooooo true. That's another argument all together though.

maybe flagging isn't the answer here... but a few questioning comments would raise the right eyebrows hopefully. Whenever I see a questionable sub I think I'm going to do just that... question it.

I do feel that screenies should be required and should stay once posted.... if nda is an issue on the screen shot then it shouldn't be there in the first place. I'm sorry but I like to see how I stack up next to everyone on the bot... it's kind of the point isn't it? An orb link or incomplete screen shot is not enough verification, and sometimes it takes a while to figure out any foul play. I enjoy playing this game, but the guys that are pulling the top scores should have to show their hand. ;) Question it, guys... questions only hurt those with something to hide.
