Two minor changes to take note of Due to the previous issues that have occurred and strong disagreement in when bans should and should not be disregarded, an actual "decay" is going to be implemented for server bans. Any bans that occurred one year prior should be considered out dated and not effective on the length of new bans issued to players (Unless the ban itself was of a greater length of time). This also doesn't change that staff should highly consider the reasons for previous bans and not base current action off just a time frame. Another small change is for the wording of the rule on custom images. This is to make part of it less vague and more clear where the line is held. Sprays, avatars and items that are able to be customized cannot contain the following: explicit nudity/genitalia, racism, hate symbols, gore, derogatory content and images of sexualized minors (this includes drawn images). So hopefully these serve to make things more defined both for staff members as well as new comers.

Basically, the intel processors in many computers, (a great majority of them, probably your own as well), have a major design flaw There are reports that it can range from 5%-30% and there is a rumor going around, a specfic generation of intel processors, skylake (6700, 6700k, 6600k etc.) can have loses up to 60%. These flaws are present in processors from over 10 years ago. "At worst, the hole could be abused by programs and logged-in users to read the contents of the kernel's memory. Suffice to say, this is not great. The kernel's memory space is hidden from user processes and programs because it may contain all sorts of secrets, such as passwords, login keys, files cached from disk, and so on. Imagine a piece of JavaScript running in a browser, or malicious software running on a shared public cloud server, able to sniff sensitive kernel-protected data." AMD users should NOT be affected by this "AMD processors are not subject to the types of attacks that the kernel page table isolation feature protects against. The AMD microarchitecture does not allow memory references, including speculative references, that access higher privileged data when running in a lesser privileged mode when that access would result in a page fault." Source: 'Kernel memory leaking' Intel processor design flaw forces Linux, Windows redesign I wouldn't freak out, as the embargo on this information does not lift until January 4th. and we probably won't have a grasp on this situation until later in the month. I just bought an 8700k too. Fucking reeeeeeeeeee.

Doesn't even tag me... Unforgivable. You will be missed, CrapGhost. Know that you will always have a place.
