kinkycamel the 4th Owner is camelman LAPSER

Sorry but people have lives outside here that may mean they can`t get in for a while so to have a go at people for lapsing is unfair.

I`ve lapsed twice in the past, once when my G/F at time tried to kill herself so i was spending all my time in Hopital with her, once when I booked a late holiday & didn;t have time to termiinate, 42%er has lapsed due to outside reasons, other regualrs have lapsed due to legitimate reasons, puter problems etc etc etc.

Refusers deserve to be named & shamed, doing the same to lapsers is unfair if you don`t know the reasons

I personally think that the lapsed challenge feature is somewhat unnecessary nowadays. For example, an inactive gremlins will remain forever busy once 7 challenges have been raised. As a result, no-one else will be able to waste their challenge on them.

As I Hate mentioned, there are some folks with legitimate reasons to be away from their grem for more than 3 days. Unfortunately, this may result in your name appearing in some peoples `black book` and resulting in a slight decrease of future challenges. If they were given the chance to accept a challenge from way back when, I`m sure most would. Better late than never - as they say.

Just my tuppence worth, but apart from possibly a minor saving on server resources, I can`t see any reason why the lapsed challenge feature should be there (apart from death of gremlins of course - obviously).

OT: I can`t help but notice that I`ve hardly had any challenges in the evenings of this week. Is it just my grem, or are folks generally going to bed early or something?

I Agree with you I Hate
SHAME the REFUSERS but not always the lapsers
If you do not know why someone lapsed it really is not fair!
For Example I only check my grem at work and I only work Mon-Thurs.
My PC is NOT hooked up yet at home (just moved, and am waiting for DSL service) and most weekends I am either at my cabin in the woods (no phone, no TV, never mind internet) Or I go away.
So I am sorry if I caused anyone to waste a challenge but as I said the weeknds I am not near a PC or just too busy
BUT to shame someone for lapsing and not know why is just not cool.
NOW if you see em fight other grems during the time you issued a challenge and they lapse you SHAME EM!!!!
And I think ther should be a permanent HALL of SHAME so others can see who to avoid wasting challenges on!

BTW I never refuse a challenge during the week so anyone up for a fight BRING IT! don`t care what you rank if you kick my butt no prob I still earned at least 3XP

i agree with I HATE. i also had to let 7 challenges lapse when i went to visit my daughter and grand-daughter. that was due to no internet access at her house (shameful i know!)

in normal circumstances regulars don`t like to lapse challenges so don`t try and shame them when circumstances beyond their control mean that they have had to do so. there may be times in the future when i once again have to let challenges lapse due to the fact my son-in-law is serving in Iraq and my daughter and/or grand-daughter need me. if that uspets someone that my family have come before my gremlin tough!

I think people are going to bed early. it also shows in the forum and how slow its been lately.
