    Kudos to Gigabyte and der8auer and the participating overclockers aswell - it was a satisfying event!

  2. When we reach the 22nm size, we are dealing with quantum physics, and when we do this we can talk about the Hinesburg uncertainty principle,

    What has a little town in Vermont to do with it? I would stick to Werner Heisenberg.

    which basically states we cannot know where the electron will be at a certain point

    You mean at a certain time, right? It's not limited to electrons btw.

    That means that if the electron is outside of where it should be, then we have higher leakage. There is an equation where temperature and leakage are related, and while it is pretty complex, it does allow us to analyze certain points easily.

    The Heisenberg uncertainty principle describes one characteristic of the quantum world regarding knowledge(/measurement) about particles and is not the reason for the circumstance that a CPU gets warm when an electric current gets applied.

    So let me confuse you a bit

    Mission accomplished :)

  3. I think it would be a good idea to adjust the thread title. "blablah is cheating" isn't something a member should claim as long there are just hints that something unusual - let it be a cheat/bug or tweak - happened. Things like that can result in reputational damage and aren't neccessary at all. In case Hwbot officially decides there's some cheating going on, there's plenty of time to call somebody a cheater afterwards. It's so easy to choose a neutral thread title - just a neat remark. I'm not taking sides or anything.

  4. Do you think it's an alternative to choose an empty field instead of "stock cooling" as default, so you have to choose a proper cooling method to submit your result successfully? Stock cooling is likely not the cooling method used for most results (atleast for CPUs), so most overclockers have to click at the drop down menu anyway if they want to choose the right cooling method (except they're lazy/sloppy and that leads to the problem we're discussing now.)

     

    Edit: Hate it to be too late. :rolleyes:

  5. - do you prefer contact by email or PM?

    Personally I prefer PM over E-Mail. I get so many e-mails on a daily basis, an e-mail from Hwbot is just one of many then. But if I refresh the Hwbot forum site and see I recieved a new PM I know it's a Hwbot matter and nothing else. However in case a user doesn't visit the Hwbot forum regularly, he can still get an e-mail about a new PM sent from the forum software automatically.

     

    - do you always want to have your Team Captain included in the email conversation?

    Not in general. I guess most of the time moderators have to deal with insufficent verificiation or description issues, which are minor problems and can be solved without a team captain in a more efficient way. If it is about a serious matter (like cheating) team captains should be involved. Howerver please notice the bigger a team is the more team captains it usually has. So before we end up dealing with 5+ discussing people, which can mean 5 different opinions and that it takes 5x the time, we should find a way to slim down that discussion process if necessary. One option I can think of is, that a user can choose which team captain should be involved if sth. serious happens and this one is the only one, who is allowed to moderate between the affected user and the staff members then. However that's maybe too much red tape again. :o

     

    - do Team Captains want an on-site overview of all the blocked scores or communication (eg: a new tab 'communication' under team profile)

    Info/details are always helpful for team captains. A thing worth thinking about is, what is part of the communication and what is not. It should be possible to have a private sphere, because being part of a team does not necessarily mean you want your team captains to know about every detail you discuss with the Hwbot staff.

     

    - when/how would you like to be contacted?

    When? If a problem appears? Not before 6am maybe? :D Ok, no kidding, I'm not sure what this quesion is about. I think it's important to differ between passive communication and active communication. Passive communication means e.g. you have a subpage which lists all result moderation actions, which affect you. It can be like a database/archive, too. Active communications means I get an e-mail/PM and somebody expects an answer/some kind of reaction. The latter one should be rarely used, otherwise it's overkill for the users and the Hwbot staff.
