1ST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ANOTHER CASES RULE THAT GOES WITH THE 3 DAY INACITIVITY RULE THAT WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE FORUM

(YOU CAN FIND THIS RULE RIGHT UNDER THE INACTIVITY RULE)
--Players in the Top Ten are expected to be as active after they reach the top ranks as they were before. In other words, if you are playing 20 games a day to make it to the Top Ten and then only play once a week to hold your rank you may be penalized.

NOW YOU ARE GOING TO TELL ME THAT YOU ARE GOING TO JOIN THE LADDER, PLAY A LOT TO GET TO THE TOP THEN IN THE NAME OF "WORK" REQUEST THAT THE INACTIVITY NUMBER BE RISEN?? I MAY HAVE QUIT TD'ING, BUT I KNOW 1 THING. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL HERE ISNT WORKING THEIR BUTTS OFF TO HAVE AN INACTIVE LADDER. .THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A VERY ACTIVE LADDER. I FEEL IF YOU CAN GET TO THE TOP WITH YOUR CURRENT WORK SCHEDULE THEN YOU CAN TRY TO STAY AT THE TOP.

AND AS FAR AS YOUR BEING DERUNG IN THE PAST BECAUSE YOU WERE SUPPOSEDLY WORKING, WELL MY PAGER DIDNT LIE EVERYTIME IT TOLD ME YOU WERE ONLINE LIVVE, PLUS LADDER RECORDS FROM ANOTHER LADDER SHOWED YOU PLAYING IN THEIR TOURNEY'S DURING YOUR INACTIVE PERIOD WHICH YOU COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN CASES PLAYING KEEPING ACTIVE.

: The current top ten inactivity rule sets the counter at 3 days. This means that any top ten player that does not play within that period will be dropped in rank 5 rungs automatically. A question has arisen over whether this is what we need on the ladder or whether a change is required. This is YOUR ladder... and I want to know what YOU think... (apart from correcting the spelling lol)

: The current rule reads:

: Inactivity: Players in the Top Ten must play at least once every 3 days. If thedon't they are automatically dropped five rungs and their inactivity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

: Proposed options:

: Option #1: Players in the Top Ten must play at least once every 3 days. If they dont, they are automatically dropped five rungs and their activity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

: Option #2: Players in the Top Ten must play at least once every 5 days. If they dont, they are automatically dropped five rungs and their activity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

: Option #3: Players in the Top Ten must play at least once every 7 days. If they dont, they are automatically dropped five rungs and their activity counter is reset. There are no exceptions to this rule.

: ....................

: Please reply with what you the player thinks is best for us... Thanks for your imput.
