Yes. For the same reason I look away when my young nephew takes two cookies instead of the one his mother allowed.
So again, what's your standard? What criteria did you use to judge? It looks whimsical.

This would be a good solution. If you don't want it happening, write a rule stating SPECIFICALLY, how distant a community member must be from another community member for them to both have boints. You're denying scores on the vague notion of suspiciousness.
Perhaps if he considers such he'll come to see what we see...... this whole argument is shortsighted at best. Talk about Pandora's box. College roommates? What about sold equipment? All this talk about same address is without merit and Massman is trying to shield his so-called good intentions with this "good of the community" mess. Basically what he's saying is if you live in the same house with someone who benches and scores on HWBOT for the same team....... DON'T TELL ANYONE. That's just whack.

Yes, you have a valid point. I fully agree that's the way it should be. As I mentioned earlier, when I first read that Dejo and his daughter were bonding over this hobby, I smiled ear to ear. I think it's awesome and absolutely wish more people would get have this with family and friends.
BUT!
Every day I have to face HWBOT/internet reality. Although I absolutely do not like myself asking for his daughter to not bench for points, something I think i've proven by given a dozen of alternative ways for Dejo and his daughter to bond over this hobby, I have to take into account that a large majority of the HWBOT community might not understand this particular situation. Not the daughter benching, but the team getting a boost in points by an account that can easily be perceived as 'double account to generate extra points'.
I would be crushed to find out Dejo's daughter would have to face the cheating accusations of people who are unaware of the situation at home. But, from years of HWBOT experience, I know there would be a tipping point when the daughter account would generate so much points people would start to complain in public. So, that's why we've suggested all the alternatives.
Actually, when Dejo ignored my PM and just created the account anyway, we closed our eyes for a while as the account was not really generating lots of points. When the first set of scores came in, we asked Dejo what's up, got a 'reasonable' explanation and, again, closed our eyes assuming this was just a one-time thing. Today, that account is generating 300+ points ... which is quite a lot.
I might be out of line here, but I guess if the daughter's account would just have low-end hardware, none of which also in Dejo's account and reasonably low total score, it would've been under the radar for sure. Like I said, we closed eyes twice.
We undertook several more attempts to solve this matter quietly and another moderator than myself tried to explain the situation and give some suggestions to solve the issue. Not to 'be corrupt', but just so his daughter could enjoy all the benching and other community members would not be upset about this 'weird' account generating a significant amount of points for the team. We don't accuse anyone (if we did, the account would've been banned), we don't try to punish anyone, all we want to forsee problems in (hwbot's) reality and address them before they occur.
Clearly some of the most convoluted doubletalk I've seen in a minute. You'll close your eyes if the point total is small? Your idea of justice and fairness is that whimsical?
No rule was broken that you've been willing to site during this long drawn out conversation. Since no rule was broken are you going to write a new rule which addresses your concerns?

If the game costs $20 it's OK;) Unfortunately, it costs perhaps more than $70 over here -and if Vantage had been THAT expensive I'd vote no in this poll;) Crysis as a game is worthless to me.
You actually make the point many of us are trying to stand behind. Cost. If the cost is high or low in anyone's opinion is irrelevant. That's subjective based on one's income or spending habits. $70 dollars is unreasonable to you yet to someone that has deep pockets $70 isn't even a second thought. The same thing may apply to someone regarding $20.00, maybe $10.00, maybe less. The dude with the $70 for a benchmark is gonna get the "Super unlocked, my eslong is bigger than yours edition" regardless if there's a free version anyway. Futuremark has always made that option available for the people who need every little button available. Yet this idea of taking away the bottom of the barrel version that even in a limited fashion allows you to be involved with the ORB, is the new style. I don't like, it ain't right and I will not voluntarily support this kind of business practice.

Not if you have to pay for it.

r1ch;15773']QFT. I suggested using the number of GPU's in my first few posts. We'll see what happens...
I wonder how it would have turned out if there was a third option in the poll (in which a new category be created for these multi core, multi cpu graphics cards)? Maybe that kind of forward thinking is too innovative?
-
Out of curiosity, would it be that difficult to create new catagories for the hwbot staff?
-
I voted Crossfire. I think a new category should be developed for multi-core/multi-gpu cards.

Except in the case for everyone who will no longer say they're in the same household. This looks superficial at best. The two people who were honest from the gate and have showed and proved such are the ones being asked to sacrifice......... and that's fair?
