submitting Hwbot benchmarks

[nutcase]

just passing on some info.

1. make sure your name is exactly as your account here. Hwbot is Case sensitive and if you use an Uppercase letter in the name, but the letter is lowercase for your Nickname on BE, Hwbot will throw out the score as invalid.

here is the rules and guidelines to follow for submitting Hwbot scores:

Rules
- don't use multiple nicknames
- only post scores belonging to you
- 1280x1024x32bit only
- include a screenshot or a futuremark compareurl of the result

Guidelines
- format your score as follows: Name - score - system description
- try not to use abbreviations. eg. 'opteron 146' is ok, '146' is too short.
- format processor overclock like 'A64 3200+ @ 2850Mhz' or 'A64 3200+ @ 2.85Ghz', format videocard speed as 'R9800 @ 350/333Mhz'.
- allowed score formats: '12345' or '12345 3dmarks' or '12345 marks'
- don't use text layout (bold, italic) or hyperlinks in your system description.

I am only passing on this info as I see a lot of thrown out scores when I do an update run with Hwbot. if your new score does not get updated, it is probably because of something wrong here. Most scores are being thrown out due to a problem with the nickname.

Thank you nutcase, good advice here:thumbs: :beer:

Also, please do not quote other peoples scores when discussing them in your posts. This causes conflicts with Hbot. Hbot will see this as you trying to submit scores under the wrong username and will generate errors while trying to update your latest entry. If you have any questions please PM me.:beer:

new rule going into effect this week.

All futuremark scores submitted (3Dmark and PCMark) must have a valid link to the ORB or score will be blocked:

I just tried submitting a score for Cpuz to Hwbot by inserting the url for the CpuZ verification link. It will not accept just the url by itself as verification. It looks as if you need a screenshot of CPUZ to go along with it or just a screenshot by itself.

This is strange, :scratch: I would think that the url with verification would be better then a screenshot. Screenshots can be photoshopped way to easy.
