I was gone from the site for 29 days, and their rule on inactives is 21 days and the AD can release you with out problem. I decided not to return because it wasn't worth it to fight to get back on a team. They lost a potentially active player because of that. It also hurts NSFL teams that drafted players or signed them to a contract and then they are stuck with said contract until it runs out. With the dsfl we can mitigate some if not all costs and a team there gets a good player. We have the 4 season rule for the dsfl, so I think it'll just take time (end of s6?) For a lot of inactives to be ineligible to play for the dsfl. Maybe change it to 3 years?
And I have this problem remedy'd by having us leave contact information for the player in case they want to return. All they have to do is contact the commissioner and we'll get them back on a team and playing in the next sim ASAP.
The DSFL shouldn't be used as a way to circumvent salary cap in the NSFL. If you draft an inactive player or a player becomes inactive then you should still be stuck with the cost. Again, managing and fighting over inactives shouldn't be a focus of a DSFL GM.
