Anyone seen or heard from flyingbolt?

From the little time spent on hr forum I`d agree there Fidway. As you said I hope all is well.

Hi Shane, wouldn't it be fairer to give flyingbolt until the 10th to respond, in line with the maximum number of instructions we're allowed ?

I suppose a few more days won`t hurt as the end result remains the same if we don`t hear from him.

All - I`ll leave it until he reaches (10) consecutive non posting days. If nothing then he`ll have to be retired. This obviously effects the premier relegation and div 2 promotion.

Easy way to calculate at the end of the month is:

Div 2 extra promotion(s) directly linked to the premier division, eg 1 prem retired 1 extra promoted div 2, 2 retirees 2 extra promoted.

Div 3 extra promotion(s) directly linked to the premier and division 1, four retirees (combined) last month so four extra promotion places in div 3.

Div 1 extra promoted at the moment none as we only lose four and don`t increase in the event of retirees, though if we had five or more retire in the same month in the premier

Not sure momms. Different gig from premier to Div 3. Mainly because in Div 3 people tend to join and soon get fed up or forget, then re-join or fall out if they don`t nap any winners etc. You don`t get that in the premier, obviously we get the odd retiree for various reasons but you can`t pull the rug too soon.

I know Reg said something along the lines of if napsters from the previous month didn`t post on the 2nd (Monday) they wouldn`t be included in the table. Which is a fair policy given the nature of Div3 ie starting point of the comp.

I hope so too momms. Does look like he`s been banned though, in some cases they can be quickly re-inststed, after I would imagine an appeal, who knows.

One or the other I`d imagine momms. As mentioned above I`ll give him until (10) non posts before retiring him. One less relegation place if that`s the case to worry about for the high flyers.

I saw that George. How do you get a permanent ban for next to nowt?

Just curious Reg. Surely you can`t get a permanent ban for next to nothing?

I think the way you and bb do retirees works fine ... If they havent given you notice they'll be away, retire after they've run out of LRFs. That's more than enough time.

As you say, the situation is different in Div 3. I just got fed up with people coming in for a few pops one month and  disappearing the next without a word. You never know where you are. So no one, not even those relegated, goes up on the table in any month until they have posted or given me notice they'll be away.

Obviously doesn't stop those who just put up a couple of naps then go away, but at least I don't have to keep them the following month. And there was at least one guy relegated a couple of months ago who just never showed up. And I don't retire people until the penultimate day, just let them slowly sink to oblivion if they don't post. Seems to work so far anyway. No one's complained!

Agree, the one thing they did do right was get rid of the trolls.

Yes, awful customer service.

Let`s hope the forum doom mongers are wrong, I think they are.

well I opften do BB ... this comp has driven me totally doolally! but shane pops up now and then to try and bring me back to reality!
