  1. Of course it is my personal opinion just like any others. I'm not playing God here :)

    Closet cleaning sales can be good to pick up cheap stuff like cables.
    Add shipping costs and cheap goes to non-cheap. But I see your point, subcategories would be the best solution for both.
    For ES, doesn't matter if its new or old... It is still owned by the manufacturer, so it probably wouldn't be good to allow people to sell things they don't own.
    Surf on Ebay for ES, you'll be surprised ;)
  2. der8auer, I agree to Bruce - the "Forbidden items for trading:" could be shrinked to one statement:

    - Items which are not hardware or overclocking related
    don't want to see any BIOS reflash services in MoBo section (instead of the actual boards) and/or dozens of SATA cables sales. Or any Apple stuff (not a hater).

    Anything that can be used to clock for Bot is O.K.

     

    And hey, why are ES banned? What if I want to buy an old CPU that was only produced as ES (say, Pentium Pro 133 or Pentium XE 3.0)?

     

    Will there be subsections for certain hardware so you don't have to list 20-40 fan sales to find a few MoBo or CPU sales?

  3. I've got the stupid "Don't want any points" bug.

    http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2355341_antinomy_superpi___1m_k6_2_533mhz_4min_38sec_781ms

    If I logout I can see that "Antinomy does not participate in the HWBOT rankings for points. "

    How did this checkbox get checked in the first way? I didn't check it. Why is it enabled by default despite the checkbox "I do not wish to participate in the HWBOT rankings." in my account is unchecked? That's the first dumb thing.

    Then I go to my submission, edit it and uncheck the "I don't want to participate in rankings" for this submission. Save changes, recalculate and... nothing. If I logout it shows that the submission still doesn't participate in rankings.

     

    I have the not participate enabled by default (better enable the read rules checkbox) and I can't edit it.

     

    Can I please have the other way around? Meaning - disabled "not participate" and no way to enable it by editing? :D

     

    Thank you in advance.

  4. Kithylin, you've made a wrong generalization of the idea. There are obsolete tests like Sisoft Sandra once was - they are only for fun, not for points.

    I was hoping I'd get points for unique submissions since I can't compete for top spots
    So go get unique hardware! I've got a dual GPU RageXL and the only similar card is a "common" Rage Fury Maxx (which I also have). Results on it will be unique and I'll get my points when I bench it. Same goes for my Winchip CPU collection - results of only three models are presented on HWBot while I have more.
    I could never hope to ever compete with any of the top spots in any category for any hardware because always the people that use phase/LN2 cooling take top spots and there's no chance for any normal people to ever compete with that.

    Dead wrong. All my results so far are achieved without phase/LN2. Got beat my fresh K6-2+ 533MHz scores with your 550 and we get talking. :)

    http://hwbot.org/submission/2355344_antinomy_pifast_k6_2_533mhz_509.81_sec

    A hint - my superpi sucks, with common tweaks it should be easy to beat.

  5. A photo doesn't prove, yes. But it confirms two things - first the CPU does exist and it's not a CPU-Z bug. And second - the user does have this CPU. For example, a Pentium Pro 133MHz does exist but for some users that were caught before I'd rather believe they emulated it than that they have this rare ES. Same goes for Pentium 1 vs Pentium 1 Mobile (CPU-Z isn't able to tell them apart http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=404891 ). User may assume that he has a mobile part because it's installed in a notebook (so he isn't trying to fiddle with the rules). But a photo might show that he has a desktop part in a notebook and the category was chosen wrong.

     

    I'd help out more but for the last years I was stopped by staffs ignorance. Until Ney came to the team and things started again.

  6. I agree with Karl. That seems to be the case. And I don't believe it's a bug because by default multiplier is set on default value, not an altered one.

    Hi . the cpu does not have the standard cooling / cover.
    Blah-blah.

    O.K. so that's your point.

     

    How about this submission? http://hwbot.org/submission/2335220_gigioracing_ucbench_2011_pentium_2_200mhz_4.9_mpt_score

     

    It's a different CPU. Let me guess - a bug again and no plastic cover either? :D
