Ohh this one is going to get a bit messy! I must say however, that I don't think it matters that there wasn't a race.

Exactly. If you're reading the thread, it could take roughly a minute more to post a comment - whether the subject matter is the aftermath of a race, the time between the next one (i.e. hopes and fears for the next race) or merely just getting involved (I recall Owen posting a moment of him eating sushi in the lead up to the Japanese Grand Prix).
Also, whether a race has taken place or not is not an issue - as someone has recently pointed out (quality analogy, I have to admit) that if the real F1 teams were inactive in between races, how the hell would they be able to race when everything is still at the previous track?
Is it really that hard to post once every day days, at least?

Don't be like a certain Aussie playboy was in moaning about the deadline time - I really can't be bothered hammering in this point enough.
The gap between one deadline and the next is always exactly ten days - and that is in the rules. Back at the start of Season 6, I posted, after every deadline had passed, that the deadline time would be 9 PM.
This is to ensure that the activity check could be completed immediately after the deadline had passed. This prevents the possibility of a performance file that is not reflective of the previous activity check period being posted (note that if the file is posted before an activity deadline, there is not a problem).
For instance, if the deadline was at the change between days, and I wasn't able to get to do the activity check until 6PM, there is ample time (if a race has not commenced already) for the performance file to be posted, which would not reflect the activity statuses of all drivers involved.
The 9 PM deadline has not changed when moving into Season 7 - and I have continually reminded people of these deadlines.
When I bold something (whether as GPGSL or on my own account), it is bolded for an activity related reason (seeing as how I never seem to bold anything when talking about my own race and such
) .
I would like to kindly remind you all to pay attention to the bolded comments I leave on my posts.
Thank you.

I'm sorry but that is crap guys
I've been active on the forum but because I've not spammed the thread with anything I get a penalty
In the case when no event is posted I think it is only fair to waiver the activity rule because otherwise you get a mess like this
Races: 163 - Wins: 23 - Pole Positions: 24 - Fastest Laps: 22
Season 9: Constructors' Champions

Dan, Dean made his point and it's in the rules. Look at me for example: I noticed that the race was being delayed but instead of being active in other threads I posted a simple "looking forward to the next race" message. By doing that I followed the rules and avoided spamming the forum, because I posted stuff about the league and not just anything.
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

As much as I don't like to disagree with my boss, but I have to agree with Dean and Carlos. It is unfortunate when there is no race in the 10 days...although this can naturally happen as 10 days is not that long a time actually. But there is enough roleplay material to fill the thread with a useful post even if there is no event going on. Look also at my interview, for example. The rules say 10 days...that's it. I don't see why there is always the same discussion again and again.
On a perf-tester note I'm pissed however by all these penalties
That means a lot of juggling around with drivers in the perf file again. So all the persons who are on their first warning now: DON'T YOU DARE TO GET A SECOND WARNING AND MAKE STU AND ME EVEN MORE WORK!

Ok, no excuse for me, and given my recent performance maybe is a good thing if I race as testdriver for some races.
Is there an alternative link to the season 7 trackpack? It's just that the link in OP is dead.

I totally support Dean on this one. It's irrelevant that there wasn't a race in between activity checks. It doesn't seem to be a problem to post something on Facebook every 10 days, so why is it a problem to post here? Let's face it, this series is fictional, so make something up! Use your imagination!

I don't find it hard to post in the thread at all, but i find it hard to stomach a penalty when nothing has happened in the series since I last posted!!!!! To me, that is rough...... If there is action, I am posting.... i post after EVERY qual and race session!! Rough decision to penalise 20 pts for a first offence when NOTHING has been going on!!!!!!!
These penalties are the rules, but in this case, I think the rule needs re-addressing....
GPGSL Team Owner Debut - Melbourne, Season 8 - present
GPGSL Test Debut - Hungary, Season 4. GPGSL Race Debut - Adelaide, Season 5.

Totally agree with Glen in this case

The rules state '10 DAYS' wether or not there was a session in that timeframe is not of any importance at all.
