i told jason about what was going on here and stuff and he believes that yes it is unfair that he doesnt post and makes every team.... therefore he said he wishes to retire until he can become active again.

What if they retire, then un-retire, then retire again, then un-retire...Loony BoB said:Fair enough - I was more meaning should the server stop sending forum emails as this has happened at a large vB I admin at. The problem was serverside, and when people changed emails they would need to verify the new email address before posting - however without a confirmation email, they were stuck. Like I said, the chances of it ever happening are beyond minimal. Also, they could fix the problem by talking to an admin and getting their account activated manually anyway, so you're right, it shouldn't stop them in any way. So I'll change my stance and say that the rule shouldn't be changed.
There's something very wrong with that sentence, I think.We're inactive unless we leave or are banned. That would mean we're either inactive, gone or banned.
I agree with this depending on the reason they left. If they said they were leaving forever, they should leave forever. If they said that they want a break and will not be participating for a while, then they should be allowed to come back. If they gave no reason at all, I think they should be allowed to return. However, if they did give no reason, they should have to wait until the start of the next season, in other words not to turn up half way through. And yeah, any players who have been deemed inactive should have their averages changed a bit.
...so what do you when you post? go to cafes? library?

We're talking complete lack of posts, period, not just rare ones!PY said:Guess I'm screwed then.
Don't even have the internet, looks like people are asking for a bit more than some people can give.

Following this...Neil Pickup said:
Either...Loony BoB said:
a) Retirement, unless stated otherwise, should be considered as a permanent thing, and therefore be listed under 'leaving forever'.
or
b) Retirement should last for at least [x] amount of complete seasons, ie from the beginning to the end, not from midway through one to midway through the next. I guess [x] would be one or two or three.
It would be best if people explained their retirement, though. In other words, they should say "I'm going to have a break from cricket so I can concentrate on other things." or "I'm finished with cricket, it was a good run, but I feel my time has passed."
As for repeated retirements, considering that their average would be going down (or up for bowling) considerably each time they come out of retirement, it would hopefully discourage them from doing such a thing as they wouldn't get selected in the end anyway.
Retirement should not disallow people from having the opportunity to play in unofficial matches such as charity matches, though.
I hope it's an overall decent proposal.

As a consideration for the Blacks and their already depleted batting, Jason Toogood will not be deemed inactive until the end of the season, although he has stated that he will temporarily retire effective immediately.

That's more or less what the CWBCC was hoping to implement. Good suggestions.Loony BoB said:
