And we have naively entered into philosophical discussion of a semantics... That's, CS7 has the right to submit his results to the Rookie Rumble as a Novice or even as an Extreme. It doesn't matter... Here you see, Mr.Scott, I was right. CS7 has the "Special Member" status. The curtain finally falls...

I used 2 CPU-cores instead of 6. HWBOT don't save 2, as I pointed out when submitting a result.

Semantics? Exactly! What do you know about semantics in jurisprudence, for example? I use the Cambridge Dictionary, if I don't understand something. Let's take a look: participate (US) - to be or become involved in an activity; participate (UK) - to take part in or become involved in an activity. The current rule says: "Only members of the rookie league may participate". I understand that only rookie have the right to submit results and receive points for them, because the rule extends its power of limit both at the moment of submission and distribution of points. In this regard, the member who has changed the league during the competition, falls into a difficult position. That's, on the one hand he had the right to submit his results, on the other, after changing his status, he lost the right to participate in the distribution of points. And the phrase "Only members of the rookie league may submit" just takes into account this nuance. Because, it extends its power only at the moment of submission, and not on the distribution of points. Don't you understand that? I tried as soon as I could explain it...

My suggestion is aimed at improving the understanding of rules by beginners such me. Not for deterioration but for improvement. And if the administration had agreed with your assertion, then we with you would never have seen HWBOT rev7. It is necessary to constantly evolve, but not be stagnant.

Thank you websmile. This is the best answer I received on this forum. The most complete. That's how I got it. I have no any contradiction with that. True. But I'm interested in your opinion: it may be better to reformulate the rule so "Only members of the rookie league may submit"? It seems to me that it will fully reflect the meaning of your words and the meaning of the competition itself. And so I want to thank you for your time. I appreciate it.

Dear websmile, I specifically pointed out that I can not understand. I don't know, we have a misunderstanding with you because of the difficulties of translation or something else? As for me, English is not my native language. However, today, you only use the expression "to submit" in your message. I understand what you explain, but the phrase "Only members of the rookie league may participate" is not fully responsive to your explanation. You neither now or have never answered my question: do you think the expressions "to submit" and "to participate" are equivalent? For my part, I see a big difference. But then you refused me in the dialogue. Now, you threaten me. The only thing that I understand from your words that I'm nothing.

If I thought that there was a bug, I would posted in the support section. But the response and actions of the moderators point to the fact that you can submit results to a competition of the one league when you are in another.

09 Mar 2018 overclocker under the nickname CSN7 submitted own result to the Rookie Rumble # 53 - HWBOT x265 Benchmark 1080p already as a Novice. This competition has a limit, as it's not the first time (but nobody care as in the case of Ackerman): Only members of the rookie league may participate. CSN7 is registered on the HWBOT 30 Nov 2017 and now has the status of Novice. Yesterday, he had two entries on the wall that he joined the Novice League 8 days ago and 9 March (last notification on the wall). I was surprised that he two times joined the Novice League. Between these events he managed to join a division. Let's count the months: 1) 30 Nov - 30 Dec; 2) 30 Dec - 30 Jan; 3) 30 Jan - 28 Feb or 02 Mar. The obvious violation, as of March 9, the term of more than 3 months. I wrote to the moderator through the form "Report this submission" to check his result. And what do you think: was his result removed from the competition? Absolutely not! Moderator wiped his wall, namely the notification of joining the Novice League 8 days ago (as of March 9) and the notification of joining a division. But the date of his registration is not changed! Is it an epic fail?! Or not? I'm confused. CSN7 is a moderator's friend? Or, perhaps, moderator engage in bot breeding? Or, maybe, CSN7 is a hacker? But, he definitely has the "Special Member" status. Apparently, many will want to get that status. Dear Administration, I want you publish a link with cost rates and a function to receive the "Special Member" status, which allows one to violate the HWBOT rules.

2suzuki These are just your fantasies that are written nowhere. Everyone has their own fantasies, different from yours. The rules should be simple and unambiguous (easy to read and easy to understand). The HWBOT rules were and are such. The clear rules mean there are no place for your fantasies.

I am already waiting 3 days for the results of a pre-moderation of my message. Where is it? I repeat it again. Have problems with English? Do you feel the difference between to submit (or to enter in your version) and to participate? Are you really from United Kingdom or pretend? I didn't know about your plans for modifying of the calculating submissions. Now, I see a new modification of the HWBOT - rev7. Dear websmile, just unswer me: 1) What were the limitations in the rules of the competition: "only members of the rookie league may participate" or "only members of the rookie league may submit"? Please, quote the Stage 2/3 limitations here. 2) Have the rules been in force during the entire competition or they ended 8 days before the end of the Rookie Rumble #51? 3) The value of the rules is that all adhere to their. So, should you neglect the HWBOT rules because of Ackerman? Rhetorical question... ... I didn't invent these rules, not me.

Hi all! A few hours ago the Rookie Rumble #51 ended. From 27.12.2017 to 15.01.2018 until 12:00UTC inclusive, there were clear rules - Stage 2 HWBOT X265 4K and Stage 3 SuperPi 1M had the same limitations: The final table contains violations of current rules. Namely, Ackerman, as a novice, participates in the final table (Stage 2 and 3) contrary to the rules. The administration of the competition has not reacted to this violation of its rules. Also, I want to write I'm not familiar with such elementary algebra, where: 0+15+10=24. Like that:
