I think this is extremely unfair and will only exacerbate the problem of Striker Manager having such a low population. No game should reset a gamer's account if a person chooses, whether on purpose or because of genuine circumstances in their life, to leave a game for an extended period. Fortunately it's generally unheard of, with this being the only one I know of to have such a miserable practice.

However, if such an unpleasant and anti-gamer attitude is to be employed then at worst it should only affect the first team if the team falls below the minimum requirement to play a match. The team's stadium, employees, Juniors and finances should remain intact assuming the team remains in profit.

To reset a gamer's whole team, I imagine in many cases, would ensure a gamer that has temporarily left the game doesn't bother to return at all. This game needs ideas that encourage, maintain and help build it's population, not ones that stick a middle finger up at those that might otherwise have been loyal and may well return from taking a break.

However, I do like the idea of resetting a team but under different circumstances.

I would suggest that all fines and point reductions are removed as a punishment and complete team and account resetting be handed out to those who break the rules. This would make the gamers that consider playing in an unscrupulous way think twice about their actions, and would ultimately make the game more fair for honest gamers.

Actually I would take it a stage further and while introducing such a punishment I would like to see all gamers who had previously been fined or had points deducted, regardless of experience or position within the game, suffer the same consquences! I think this game is outrageously soft on these people and does not do enough to discourage people from breaking the rules. In many respects the game actively makes rule breaking an attractive proposition for those who lack the ability to play honestly. Alternatively throw all of the previously fined and newly fined gamers into a separate server, banning their IPs from the main game. I think this would benefit every honest gamer. Honest gamers could then compete on an even playing field, while the 'unscrupulous' get to fight it out with each other and no doubt see who can break the rules the best in their own little world. The shake-up this would cause may prove to be beneficial in encouraging newcomers to stay as those with ability will earn promotion or have success against genuine gamers rather than potentially competing against dishonourable, morally-impared gamers.
