I dont know if the Xi admin get enough credit for all they do here at XI but It's probably not enough. From running svr and geting maps up an running to manageing the site. Ane patrolling the svr's in an attempt to catch those who try to cheat and get away with it.. In basic terms the admins do alot behind the scenes that us XI members are not aware of. They do this to make all the svrs a safe and enjoyable place to come and play. where gamers do not have to worry about their economic, social or personal standards or orientations and beliefs we are all on equal footing thanks to the rules and standards the admin have not only laid out but also enforce.I have really enjoyed my time here at XI and am gratefull to all the admin who have done their jobs well . I hope this doesnt sound like a kiss ass post cause its not meant to be but where would we be if not for the admin who go above and beyond. if gamers do not respect their fellow gamers then no one would want to play so thaks admin for everything you do.
Cheers

Says it ALL ...................

You are correct the edit time is set to 10 minutes at present.
 
I have some ideas up my sleeve, and plan to take them to the next Webmaster and Senior Admin meeting.
 
I have the ability to set it so no-one can delete a topic (first post within a topic), though people can "soft" delete their OWN other posts. Soft delete removes the post from view except for Senior Admins and Webmasters, who will still be able to see it (just in a different colour). This means that should someone post some racist remark or personal attack and then delete it later to cover their tracks, then the Seniors still have evidence should they need it.
 
I will also propose that the edit time does remain at 10 minutes (maybe up to an hour), for the same reason above, to prevent someone editing a dodgy post at a later date to cover their tracks.
 
HOWEVER I can make no promises that the Seniors will want any changes done, though I will take this to them as an option to keep all parties happy.
 
In the meantime I would like to give you some useful tuition. Firstly re-read you post prior to posting. Even use the preview button. Also use the latest version of Firefox (13) which has a built in spell checker, so if you misspell it underlines it in red. You can then right click the word, for the correct spelling.
 
Also if you started a topic and you believe it's getting out of hand, I would recommend thinking before starting topics that could go south. Alternatively, if you see a post you aren't happy with, please feel free to use the "Report" button below each post of the left. You then have the ability to explain why you want a post removed, etc. This then gets flagged up for the Senior Admins (only) to review, and take the appropriate action.

It's not luck if he got a number like that. I encourage you to play with him on acemod google, he gonna kick your ass with a knife. It's like wind which is coming from nowhere and killing you. He's a Master Jedi of Knife!

i have the same cpu and i wanted to buy a new one too because the it feeld really slow but before i dit that i tryed to overclock the cpu. thats what i dit, it running on 3005mhz since over a year now and the good sideeffect is when u overclock the cpu u overclock ur ram too because of the northbridge overclocking.
windowstest said that my cpu was on 5.9 before and now is on 7.2. ram was on 6.3 and is now on 7.2 too.
 
overclocking rucks. and if it fails it is not so bad because u where thinking on buying a new one.

i clicked on the link and that board is an amd board. maybe somethin wrong with the link but i dont know. either way the board it showed me wont take an i7 chip. so look into it. from my experience a high end motherboard goes a long way. its the backbone of your system and it needs to be good.

What he said ...lol

Now you can use an stolen laptop ........... lol

You will have to uninstall the nvidia driver before you can go back to an older one. but maybe that will fix it. lots of cards right now are having trouble with anything after 290.xxx
