I estimate a 0% chance that your proposal will ever be considered. Sorry.
That would be an excellent estimation.
I can understand the thought process but it has vastly more negatives than positives.
indeed.
This simply has huge disadvantages, even if it would be considered.
The effect when a bid is withdrawn is beyond imagination. It could create a snowball effect and someone will end up screwed in all cases. So if someone is got to be screwed, it might as well be the one making the 'error' in the first place.
I can in fact DO see a usefull means for this idea, if we tweak it somehow:
bids can be withdrawn within 2 minutes after they have been placed, and only if there is still more then 20 minutes to go on the transfertime.
the reason why this should be possible is that someone might accidentally put 1 number too much, and only see it at the time his bid is already made. This is imo the only reason why a bid should be retracted and it is possible in 2 minutes notice, because it should be withdrawn immediatly, and not after some time.
However if this happens during the last minutes of a TL tranfer, possibly during a bidwar, this is a bad idea, bcause it will distrurb things. So that why it isn't possible the last 20 minutes. What to do if you accidentally typ a number to much in the last 20 minutes? bad luck, just don't.

this is the only usefull implementation that I see that might be considdered.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
