I agree with Mariosalice. If teamwork is not approved, then why are there teams in hwbot?
About that thing of publishing the serial number of the hardware.
I think it's at least... insufficient. Users buy and sell their hardware all the time.
Let's say I post the serial number of my A64 X2 4400+. I am rock stable @ 2660MHz. All my benchmarks are run at that frequency. So, let's say I sell this CPU to a friend of mine. He uses water cooling or something else and he achieves a rock stable frequency of 2800MHz and then he posts his results at hwbot. What happens then? I would really like to know. Should I have given him a receipt? How about publishing the receipts from our hardware purchases?
