I just bought a 790FX board so I can have the same setup that a team member has been using... Why? Because I want to do an internal challenge with said team mate to see which of the chips yields the best results... So does that mean that because we'll both have same board, cpu, ram; only one of us gets to submit 2D benches?
Yes; he's young enough to be my son, or maybe I'm old enough to be his dad... But still.
This whole thing about "we just want to spare October the hassle of being called a cheat" is just preposterous. I say; let people call her a cheat; and then watch them get shut down once dejo and October PROVE them wrong.
It is not HWBot's job to protect October's feelings... Let dejo do that since he is the father.
Quite amusing this thread, and this whole issue for that matter... So it goes like this: "We recognize you haven't broken any rules, but we just don't want your daughter to have her feelings hurt if/when she gets called out on a score so we're asking her to refrain from submitting for points"... That's inane to say the least.
