Hwboints - the global overclocking league
You have or have not seen the latest features at HWbot. Beside the global rankings, we have developped a new sort of competition, which will make the overclocking scene more interesting and competitive.
This pointing system is fantastic to compare overclockers to each other, while keeping it fun for those who can't afford the latest Q6700 + 1950 CF. Eg. you will recieve a rather low score for being in the top 10 of pcmark (because there isn't much competition), but you will get a huge amount of points when you start to get near the top 50 of superpi, as the competition is very fierce. Same goes for hardware achievements. Having the fastest matrox parhelia will not get you much credits, but having the fastest 7900GT will get you a lot.
If this system gets support for the community (and we are confident we do), we are going to organize contests based on hwboints. Untill then, please share your thoughts on how we can make it even better.
If you are interested in how we calculate these 'hwboints', here's the calculation. it's still open for discussion.
Code:
hwboints = global points + hardware points
* global points (top 5): (50,40,35,30,25 * application weight) * 0.6
* global points (other): ((-20/145) * your rank + (600/29) * application weight) * 0.6
* hardware points (top 5): (5,4...1 * hardware weight) * 2
application weigth: 0.5 (<500 participants) - 2 (2000 or more participants)
hardware weigth: 0.2 (1 participant) - 1 (100 or more participants)
Many thanks to mtzki, who's the intelectual father of hwboints. I'm just the grunt who coded it.
All the info you'll ever need about hwboints can be found here
The Hwboints ranking is divided in two sections: one for members, which is currently dominated by (who else?) ... k|ngp|n, and one for teams, dominated by XS.

Sounds fantastic!
I do have one thing to point out, though... and it's not about this. I seem to have had my 6800LE results pulled from the site, and I have no idea why. I think people would really appreciate it if you could have an email sent to you explaining why your result has been pulled... I've had all three of mine taken off

If somebody reports one of your submitted scoure(s), and the mods will check 'em out, and if they consider that person has a valid point, excuse, then your score will get removed out. It seems without any further notification.
I've reported only one score in my HwBot 'adventure', months ago, and the next day the score was removed, but that indeed was incorrect. It wasn't recognized as it was meant to be, and nor the validation link was correct. My point was correct and valid, though.

I've also reported a few, but they had obvious problems like someone submitting a super pi score with a Celeron M instead of a Celeron D... but as far as I know, my 6800LE benches are bona fide. I just find it weird that there's no reporting system for this...

Your absolutly right Snod blatter, some features like sending an email to the user when a score is being removed (which shouldn't happen in the first place, reported scores which are invalid should be blocked, not removed) is necessary before we can call hwbot feature complete. I'll see whether I can digg up your removed 6800Le results, but if they are completely removed, I fear for the worst.

Was that 000 by any chance?

No, you can simply report a score by clicking on it on the hwbot site... My scores were #5 6800LE for 3dmark 01, 03 and 05. I can't help but think someone reported them so they could appear on the 6800LE leaderboard...
No worries though, all of the scores are saved on ORB. I just find it weird that all records of them (even on my profile) have disappeared... Or that a moderator would delete them. Something simple like having a copy of the reason why your score got reported forwarded to your email would be extremely helpful
