Backing Out Of Bids Is Bad Mmmkay?

[AndyP]

There were clear outside circumstances then that justify it. In this instance, there were no such circumstances. To me, the 24 hour rule should always be in effect simply because it's only fair. With every bid there is the assumption of 24 hours. Someone who reads the thread when a bid is posted, assumes they have another 24 hours to make a decision. When we allow a bid to be rescinded and the 24 hour rule pushed back to the previous bid it completely undermines that assumption.

In my opinion, GMs can pull back a big if the circumstances are understandable, but waiving the 24 hour rule never makes any sense.
