Last night 4 people were using profanity in /LookingForGroup. Three were using the usual swear words, and the fourth was using racial slurs.

A GM responded within 2 minutes! Then, blessed silence in the channel and one person even made an apology to the channel (the one using racial slurs).

Continue to use profanity in public channels, and you'll continue to be reported by me. Eventually it will be your account that is suspended, not mine.

Victory is mine, either way.

Narc FTL!

let me guess, all the cool people in school shunned you, you were never invited to parties, chicks find you repulsive, you are the a-typical NARC.
GG. You are FTW!


Seriously. That is what the profanity filter is for.

No one likes a Narc. One can only hope you learn this lesson in real life where the consequences are worse than having your corpse camped.

You guys can whine, gripe, cry, QQ or whatever the heck the kids are saying now. Bottom line is filter or no filter, ignore or no ignore, it's against the TOS.

This subject has been hashed and rehashed a billion and 2 times.

Q u o t e:
Conroe

The first Intel Core 2 Duo processor cores, codenamed Conroe, were launched on July 27, 2006. These processors are built on a 65 nm process and are intended for desktops, replacing the Pentium 4 and Pentium D. Intel has claimed that Conroe provides 40% more performance at 40% less power compared to the Pentium D. All Conroe processors have 4 MB L2 cache; however, the E6300 and E6400 versions have half of their cache disabled, hence they only have 2 MB of usable L2 cache.

The lower end E6300 (1.86 GHz) and E6400 (2.13 GHz), both with a 1066 MT/s FSB, were released on July 27, 2006. Traditionally, CPUs of the same family with less cache simply have the unavailable cache disabled, since this allows parts that fail quality control to be sold at a lower rating. At launch time, Intel's prices for the Core 2 Duo E6300 and E6400 processors were $183 USD and $224 USD each in quantities of 1000. Conroe CPUs have an enormous value with their overclocking capabilities — the 1.86 GHz model has been shown to overclock to over 3.0 GHz with a good motherboard supporting high FSB speeds. In these reports, an overclocked Core 2 Duo 1.86 GHz was shown to eclipse the Core 2 Extreme in certain benchmarks. According to well respected reviews, the E6300 and E6400 only suffers on average 3.5% because of the smaller L2 cache size. With the higher overclock of the two processors, enthusiasts can easily make up the 3.5% percent by overclocking further than its higher end Conroe cousins. However, the low multiplier on these two lower-end chips requires a very high FSB to reach high speeds, which few motherboards support.

The higher end Conroe processors are labeled as the E6600 and E6700 Core 2 Duo models, with the E6600 clocked at 2.4 GHz and the E6700 clocked at 2.67 GHz. The family has a 1066 MT/s front side bus, 4 MB shared L2 cache, and 65 watts TDP. These processors have been tested against AMD's current top performing processors (Athlon 64 FX Series), which were, until this latest Intel release, the fastest CPUs available, and the vanilla Conroe boasts much faster performance.[1] Overclocking results show that the E6700 and E6600 are stable when overclocked to 4 GHz with air cooling and to 5.4 GHz with liquid nitrogen cooling, despite having locked multipliers.[2]

At launch time, Intel's prices for the Core 2 Duo E6600 and E6700 processors were $316 USD and $530 USD each in quantities of 1000.

[edit] Conroe XE

The top-of-the-line Core 2 Extreme was officially released on July 29, 2006. However some retailers appear to have released it on July 13, 2006, albeit at a high premium. The less powerful E6x00 models of Core 2 Duo were scheduled for simultaneous release with the X6800, which are both available at this time, though in limited quantities. It is powered by the Conroe XE core and replaces the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition and the dual-core Pentium Extreme Edition processors. Core 2 Extreme has a clock speed of 2.93 GHz and a 1066 MT/s FSB, although it was initially expected to achieve 3.33 GHz and 1333 MT/s. The TDP for this family is 75-80 watts. At full load the X6800 does not exceed 45 °C (113 °F), and with SpeedStep enabled the average temperature of the CPU when idle is essentially that of the ambient atmosphere. [3]

At launch time, Intel's price for the Core 2 Extreme X6800 was $999 USD each in quantities of 1000. Like the desktop Core 2 Duo, it has 4 MB of shared L2 cache available. This means that the only major difference between the regular Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme is the clock speed, which is unusual for the "Extreme Edition." It does come with an unlocked multiplier, however, allowing it to basically simulate any E6x00 with 4 MB of L2 cache. This also allows it to gain a better overclocking ability than the other Core 2 processors, with up to a 11X multiplier. Intel's previous Extreme Editions all included a unique feature, such as an increased FSB, more L2 cache, or addition of L3 cache.

Overclocking proves more promising, as Intel allows the user to change the multiplier number. The X6800 has shown the ability to be overclocked to 3.6 GHz on Intel's stock cooler with no increase in voltage to the system components, 4.1 GHz with good air cooling and increased voltage, and over 5.5 GHz with liquid nitrogen cooling.

[edit] Allendale

For a very long time, it was considered that stripped down versions of the Conroe processors were code-named Allendale. In actuality, Allendale is a code-name for a different processor. Many suggest that E6300 and E6400 are actually code-named Allendale, however, the E6300 (1.86 GHz) and E6400 (2.13 GHz) processors are not code-named Allendale because they physically have 4 MB cache, same as their big brothers E6600 and E6700 - it is just that half of their physical memory is disabled. Traditionally, CPUs of the same family with less cache simply have the unavailable cache disabled (this allows parts that fail quality control to be sold at a lower rating). The fact that E6300 and E6400 are not code-named Allendale and actually code-named Conroe has been confirmed by Intel themselves.

Quoted from The Tech Report:

You'll find plenty of sources that will tell you the code name for these 2 MB Core 2 Duo processors is "Allendale," but Intel says otherwise. These CPUs are still code-named "Conroe," which makes sense since they're the same physical chips with half of their L2 cache disabled. Intel may well be cooking up a chip code-named Allendale with 2 MB of L2 cache natively, but this is not that chip.[4]

The real Allendale processors, including the E4300, will be released during Q1 2007.

[edit] Merom

Merom, the first mobile version of the Core 2, was officially released on July 27, 2006 but quietly began shipping to PC manufacturers in mid-July alongside Conroe.[5][6] Merom is Intel's premier line of mobile processors, with largely the same features as Conroe but with more emphasis on low power consumption to enhance notebook battery life. Intel has claimed that Merom will provide 20% more performance yet maintain the same battery life as the Yonah-based Core Duo. Merom will be the first Intel mobile processor to feature EM64T 64-bit extensions.

Intel has stated that the first version of Merom is drop-in compatible with the current Core Duo platform, requiring at most a BIOS update. It has the same thermal envelope and the same 667 MT/s bus rate.[7]

The Merom processors are labeled as the "T5x00" and "T7x00" Core 2 Duo models, with the T5200 clocked at 1.60 GHz, the T5500 clocked at 1.66 GHz, the T5600 clocked at 1.83 GHz, the T7200 clocked at 2.0 GHz, the T7400 clocked at 2.16 GHz, and the T7600 clocked at 2.33 GHz. The T5x00 models come with 2 MB of shared L2 cache, and the T7x00 models come with 4 MB of shared L2 cache.

[edit] Kentsfield

Kentsfield is the codename for the first quad-core version of the Core 2 processor. The first model of Kentsfield, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, was released on November 2, 2006, and became available from manufacturers such as Dell and Gateway on November 14. The processor features four cores, with a clock speed of 2.67 GHz, and two 4 MB L2 caches. The new processor retails for a price of $999, the same as the Core 2 Extreme X6800.[8][9][10][11][12] Initial samples of the processor had substantially higher power consumption than their Core 2 Duo counterparts (approx. 130 watts), however the retail version is expected to have a thermal envelope of 80 W.[13] The top-of-the-line Kentsfield CPU, the first and only Kentsfield to be released thus far, is branded a Core 2 Extreme processor, while the still forthcoming mainstream versions will be called Core 2 Quad. Unlike AMD's 4x4 (which refers to two dual-core processors on one motherboard), Kentsfield is a one socket solution; for example, the QX6700 is actually two E6700 chips connected together by a 1066 MHz FSB on one MCM, resulting in lower costs but less bandwidth to the northbridge. What this also means is that it will be easy for Core 2 Duo early adopters to upgrade their LGA775 platform by just dropping in a quad-core Kentsfield, as has been demonstrated by Cnet when they dropped in two Core 2 Quad processors in place of two WoodCrests in a Mac Pro. As can be expected, 4 cores scale very well in multi-threaded applications, such as video editing, ray-tracing, or rendering, where the performance doubles compared to an equally clocked Core 2 Duo. However single or dual-threaded applications, for example most games, will not benefit from the additional cores. For single threaded applications, initial performance reports indicate that this relatively small increase in FSB and processor speed does not dramatically increase overall performance alone; however, it does leave more room for high-speed, low latency RAM to significantly boost the numbers. Nevertheless, multitasking several processor-demanding single threads will see a dramatic overall performance boost; gamers may yet want to look at Kentsfield for the potential to run several instances of their favorite game or games without noticeable performance lag in each, as each instance (up to four) could be running on a different processor.

I think its more of a matter of L2thickskin. I dont much care what other people say. Do you really think getting someone banned will change their ignorant views? Best thing you can do is just ignore them, because recieving backlash will just reinforce their opinions.

you are a sacrifice article that I cut up rough now

/congrats OP... I do the same. My 13 year old son plays this game, and while I know he is exposed to the language in other, out of my control areas, the places where I can do somehting about it... I do.

To the others... L2Communicateintelligently. =)

The likelihood that you will fail miserably is directly related to the amount of people watching you.
