So while I will still use hwbot, as its the only thing around, I would like radical changes made before i'd be happy to support rev.4

Its a bit too convoluted in Rev.4 and the de-emphasis on Teams or the splitting of teams into sub-teams overclomplicates and deminishes the whole team concept.
Being able to be a part of something bigger than yourself and contribute to that singular goal motivates people to participate. We're social animals not rogue mauraders. Our OCA team counts on every single team member from bottom to top and value the top of the ladder as much the bottom of the ladder.
Personally, I dont have a problem with having to take a video of my benchmark run or being required to post and keep pics of batch #'s from hardware on file with Hwbot. Its a little extra work but takes less time than installing a multi-boot or running wprime 10x's to get the best time or running superPI 32m a hundred times or once on a Pentium 4.
If they implemented stringent rules, the dedicated and honorable overclockers would remain while the hardware sharing bloaks would take off and we'd be left with a clean league.
I don't think they'd lose as much participation as what they are looking at now with Rev. 4.
I've already heard of 3 different groups that have begun work on a their own overclocking database site and now they have toptenhardware up and beta testing with the Asus1156 contest.
