UPDATED GAMES ROTATION
______________________________________________________________________________
We have taken into consideration a number of the recommendations about the games rotation and forwarded those to randomize. The largest concern appeared to stem around the lack of ability to join Frookies due to how fast it was filling. In order to attempt to fix this concern, a second frookies game has been added to the rotation. So, the rotation has been updated to be as follows: Fastings > Frookies > Castings > Frookies > Repeat.
NOTE: I have noticed that since the last Castings has filled, a frookies followed and that a fastings did not follow after that. I expect it could be due to the code coming in place half-way through that castings being filled. I'll keep an eye on this for the next one and mention it to randomize if there continues to be issues. Fastings have NOT been removed from the site.
TENGAGED ADVISORY COUNCIL
______________________________________________________________________________
This idea has been brought up numerous times, but we are officially ready to roll out the Tengaged Advisory Council (TAC).
The function of the advisory council will be to comment on issues that we are in the process of discussing within the moderation team. It will allow for more consultation within the community and more diverse opinions to be considered when it comes to rule adjustments/some decisions. The council will ONLY comment on things that the moderation team differs to, not all bans or decisions that are made. On a similar note, the Advisory Council will only be used for consultation. The final decision will always be in the hands of the moderation team, but will (presumably) often link up with the decision that is reached by the TAC.
Some ideal qualifications for those looking to be on the TAC:
- Active and willing to provide commentary on specific issues that arise within the Tengaged community.
- Ability to remain confidential.
- Little to no problematic past.
- Ideally a user who has been around for a long time (not an absolute requirement)
Some topics of discussion that we expect to come up almost instantly include:
- Strategies to tackle pedophilia/inappropriate sexual conduct on Tengaged.
- Strategies to tackle design rules.
APPLICATION: If you are interested in joining the Tengaged Advisory Council, please send myself, CheapCheep, and koolness234 a message outlining WHY you think you would be a good member for the team. We will only be selecting 7 users, but expect that this council will be rotating, meaning that even if you do not get picked this time, there will be future opportunities in the future.

As the new shops updates continue to be in effect, I have been talking with many shop owners to see some of the concerns and been in discussion with randomize about these in order to iron out some of the "glitches." Some of the newer changes that have been made over the last few days:
- Girllover101 noted that they were unable to purchase from their own shop. My original blog only said there was a limit on gifting. I have been informed that you are NOT able to PURCHASE or GIFT from your own shop.
- The limit for active designs in the design labs for shop owners was previously 6. This has been upped to 12.
- There is NO limit on the amount of designs you can post. In theory, you can post 1 individual design 20 times at the 400+T$ range. Previously, there was a limit of 7 designs per shop.
- Active and willing to provide commentary on specific issues that arise within the Tengaged community.
- Ability to remain confidential.
- No problematic past.
- Ideally a user who has been around for a long time (not an absolute requirement)

Can you please get him to remove the *wait 2 HGs before joining again* rule? It leads to the same exact cast/premade being in every cycle. It's pointless and makes HG take forever to fill.
Can't gift or purchase from your own shop!?!
Shop owners who are also designers should be able to purchase their own creations!! If they design something they really want they would have to give it away to someone else to be able to purchase it for themselves or spam it into the auction and still have the possibility to not get it, ridiculous!
Can you inform randomize that not allowing shop owners to purchase or gift from their own shop that they paid the equivalent of 240$ for (this week) is the dumbest thing ever added to this website.
