hwbot is starting manual cleaning of the entries. Biggest problems are bad or missing verification links, missing CF/SLI checks and incorrect hw matching. This result moderation will be done in a hierarchial fashion with halls of fame having highest priority and other results getting cleaning less regularly. We always check a result if someone asks for it with the 'report suspicious entry' link. We try to fix the faulty entries if possible. Blocking is the last resort.
As it happens, the better a result is, the bigger chance it has to get inspected and modified. Please understand that if an entry gets blocked it very very rarely if ever means it was considered a fake by a hwbot moderator. The most common reason for blocking is a malfunctioning or missing verification link.
hwbot usually accepts (welcomes :D) results done with unreleased prototype hw. Please include a screenshot verification with such submissions as e.g. ORB entries may get removed.
If you have replied to an hwbot topic, and wish to alter or delete your result afterwards, you have two options:
- modify your old forum post: either correct the mistake, or remove the score - system tag from the post to get the result deleted. Than, go to the first page of the topic, and click the 'update ranking now' link in the first post. This will redirect you to a page which gives you the choice to update the last page of the ranking, or the whole topic. Choose whole topic. Your result will be modified or deleted after the scan is completed.
- create an account at www.hwbot.org. After registering, click 'my fora'. Authenticate at the fora where you have submitted results. After you have authenticated a certain login and password, all recorded and future entries of this user will be coupled to your hwbot login. Click 'my results' to view a list and edit the results.
If an hwbot moderator has modified your entry, usually the second option above is the only way for yourself to further alter it.
