marco.is.not.80

yep. ?

I'll just delete it. I'd ask a mod to move it but chances are they are too busy and I don't want this to be an eyesore forever.

If you check our individual user pages it shows that we all "joined the overclockers league" when we had already obviously joined a division. The system doesn't credit us our points because it thinks we are new and some database linking is borked. That's my theory.

That's the thing, George... If even you who obviously has a firm understanding of how this whole thing works and who is a veteran of hwbot - if even you make a statement like "guessing it shouldn't have had them in the first place... but... uh... hmmm... not really sure" then what hope is there for a noob like me to try and understand what the hell is happening with their score? We really shouldn't call this hwbot.org anymore. It should be called sum_(i=1)^n i^3=((n(n+1))/2)^2.org.

I post nice images, try and be polite, mind my Ps and Qs, send private messages, try and piggyback off other people's threads, ask Splave to pretend he has the same problem as me to see if he can get an answer from someone (just kidding - although - I mean - I would do that at this point)... I'd send hookers if I thought it made a difference (maybe that's the problem). Now I'm just whining... What I'm really trying to convey here is "fuuuuuuuuuuuuck." I mean, if you're pulling out the database backups and doing bit level comparisons you think you could throw my account in there with TJs if it wouldn't be too much trouble? I won't ask again I promise. I can only cry like Mr. Scott once a year at most.

at least you got a response for your downward spiral... I'm ready to just say fuck it and move on.

Don't worry it gets worse. Eventually they all disappear. Unless I missed it somewhere no one from the bot has confirmed this is a problem but it is happening to you and it has run its course with me.

So I messaged Richbastard with no response yet but I think I finally have figured out where the missing points are... Look at this: and look at this: I've lost all my points from competitive play. That's a major chunk of my overall score. How do I get this fixed????

Well, that worked! I can see now that the issue is that when I click on the button that is NOT added to the URL. So that's going to be a problem for sure. NIce, thanks!

No, you'll beat ZERO every time using this method.

I'm not trying to give the impression that somehow I'm spamming the recalculate button but rather explain that the button whether it is the one for my entire account or the one for individual benchmarks simply doesn't work. Normally, when you click on the one to recalculate an individual score you get a message saying something - anything - at least a hint of what is about to happen (ie. your next in the queue - one submission ahead of you" or "this is marco.is.not.80s best submission" or "whatever"). In my case (and it sounds like GTIJay above me) when I hit the button I can "press it" and "depress it" and it's like broken javascript link where you can click it until the cows come home but it isn't actually linked to anything. Make sense? Sorry if I'm not expressing such a simple concept with words... I don't know... I'm tired.

When I try and do that with any of my scores it just "flashes" and doesn't even give me the please wait message or anything like that. Maybe my account is even more fracked up then I first thought.

how did you do a recalc when the button is unavailable in our account settings?

Thanks, Leeghoofd, I'll do that and safe travels. By the way, I have no idea why my post above looks like it was encoded incorrectly. Weird.

By the way, I found a blind SQL injection vector that allows me to enumerate tables and a file include vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to not only upload his results but take a few goodies back with him. Where does one report those kind of issues?

I believe my rank dropping is related to this issue: I believe those points were being credited to me and then something changed. I remember at one point a week or so ago that when I went to my account page it showed that I didn't belong to a division even though I had signed up for division 1 ages ago and so I selected division 1 again and it then gave me the "You've joined the overclocker's league"... it's been all down hill since then. :-( It's amazing how quickly one can lose their interest when issues like this go unresolved and help seems just out of reach.

Exactly the same thing as you, man... Mine shows 0 but can't do a recalc since the button is offline.

Wow, I've dropped over 100 places in my league. I also noticed that my Catzilla entry going back months ago has disappeared. Since I can't hit the recalc button myself would really appreciate it if a mod could do it really quick - unless it is a painful process then no worries - but hoping to get some sort of affirmation... Thanks :-)

Maybe I'm just guilty by association? ;-)

I moved up a spot or two at most when I benched GPUPI 3.3.2 a few days ago but now that the points have been removed I've dropped a few hundred spots in all three places (world rank, league rank and country rank) and I can't hit the recalc button because it is disabled and was wondering if a moderator would be so kind as to do it for me?

We should go out of our way to ensure that the developers of benchmarks like GPUPI are even more valued than our scores... Furthermore, if you happen to be a really gifted developer, not socially retarded and you are community centered well - hwbot should make a little statue out of gold in mat's likeness and consider making him part of the logo or <insert some creative idea here since mine sucks>. I don't get the problem with everyone having to rebench - go look at #1 for the apprentice league. That guy (no disrespect to him and certainly he hasn't done anything wrong) is going to be #1 for ever with no chance of anyone ever catching up to him. He doesn't even need to compete in any of the competitive challenges. I don't get how someone just has to run 3dmark 03, 05 and 06 with different video cards to maintain supremacy of an entire league. It seems some periodic rebenching helps solve problems like this. I will be the first to admit that I'm relatively new here and I may just not understand how the rankings work but god knows I've tried to understand the formula but am more confused than ever with the new revision. It feels like I'm actually competing in three different leagues with different rules. I can be 90th in USA, 60th in the world and 79th in my league. I'm always a little baffled when I look at the Elite league and the #1 person isn't ranked #1 in the world. Anyways, probably not staying on topic now so anywhoodles...

Ah, no worries then :-)

Splave, I think you forgot to change one of the CPU-Z tabs to Motherboard and have two open CPU-Z to the memory tab.

congrats, man - really impressive score!
