1) I have brought the rotation to randomize's attention. He has removed rookies from the rotation. I posited the idea of having two separate rotations, but it seems like this isn't something that can be done right now. For the frooks fans, I've put in a good word about the situation, and i'll keep you posted.
2) LeXXXy has stepped down as a moderator for the time being. I will be respecting this decision. I think the job can be very stressful and we can all get very frustrated and tired, and say things we wouldn't mean. LeXXXy has asked me to perm them so they may focus on their priorities, and I will be carrying that out sometime later today. Additionally, those that received 7 day bans I will do my best to keep on top of to unban after 3 days. I do want to keep things fairly consistent amongst bannings. Additionally additionally, I have put in a word with Carlos to add more mods to the panel. While I have a few names I put forward from users who have expressed interest (and I personally feel would do a good job), nothing is locked down. I do believe we need a diverse group on the panel to handle these reports effectively.
3) The ideas provided regarding shops have been sent randomize's way. We're still working on a solution. I know many had the idea to include a shops raffle, or put hard limits on the amount of weeks owners could own a shop before they would need to drop out. Additionally, I also let him know ideas regarding separating shops into two types, gifting and competitive. I'm sure there will be more to follow, so stay tuned.
That's all the information I have for now. I'll be doing my best to keep you all posted. Thanks for the patience as we get through this!
