Duh! this is shocking :shakes:
OMG It's Sad Story
I'm Shocked When See This Bad News :O
Realy Sorry For HIWA But You Have Mistake :(
As the devil's advocate myself, may I ask a simple question ?
What makes you think that this wasn't the case before ?
I mean, isn't it possible that Andre ( and maybe some other people too ) used to sell/share results with other ( or the same ) people in the past too ?
And for the ones saying "let them come back into HWbot & OC community after a year"... once again, what makes you think that they won't do that again ?
Want a real-life example ? One word, politicians. ( I'll stop it here though, I respect XS.org's rules about no political stuff )
Shameless people have no limits.
And just like dr. House says, "People don't change".
what made Hiwa? This "second" news i found not....
Although I agree he screwed up pretty bad I don't think the life time ban has any merit..
wait hiwa and skinny got banned?!?!??!!?!?! hiwa makes the memory section and skinee with all his tests.. now we got no1 to do the watercooling runs and memory!
That's quite not true.Quote:

I use to be a lurker as a guest for 2 years, seems as if the forum is dying.. ive seen so many banns .. they most likely deserved it but yeah..
Is the lifetime ban from XS or what? I'm confused.
XS life-time ban for AndreYang.
That's what this thread is about ARandomOWl
yeh but hiwa,skinny 1 year ban.. martin doesnt test anymore so looks like our main watercooling dude is out of the game too..
Do not confuse HWBot with XS. Martin is not banned on XS. Just Andre is.Quote:

I'd just like to say; thanks to MSI for actively forcing an investigation
Totally agree with BenchZowner
It's time to get rid of this peoples and oc community never dies without peoples like them.
Someones trying hard to achieve better results and someones spending high to achieve them. It's not true in my opinion.
andre is a life time ban, rest are 1 year banned on XSQuote:

Hiwa??? :( :( :( :( :(
I'm surprised at Hiwa? Andre? not. the others I don't know. think about this though, if you were found doing this in some other sport = lifetime ban I think even a blindman would look to Andre as being the instigator of this and makes one wonder what's gone on before? and who has slipped under the radar? it makes the honest overclockers look like mugs with their fair efforts. :mad:
Cheating should carry a zero tolerence policy. Many PM me asking for advice across various forums. I would never even contemplate the thought of cheating in order to favor something. For this reason, I 100% agree with the lifetime ban.
damn skinee was the man for testing watercooling parts, someone has some big shoes to fill :(
the point is he's a stand up guy ...Quote:

Bring out the BANHAMMER!
Weak that hwbot only issues a 1 year ban. My opinion is that cheating is dealt with far too lenient.
They must be close friends,Sammy sosa was almost killed for cheating.:shocked:
