The Emerald Shop is a multi-purpose shop that provides 11 services. We can do anything from art to scripting to voice acting. We have had three presidents and are therefore on our third forum thread. We have 182 pages total on our two previous threads and over 200 on this one. We are always receiving and completing quality orders of many kinds. We have many members and have been awarded the Scratch Shop World Records award for Most Employees in a Shop. As of now, according to @congyingzhou (owner of T.I.P.S. and The Shop Directory 12.0), we are the fourth biggest shop on Scratch.

Requirements

• As a member or trainee, you must follow the group studio (Found here)
  
• If you are on the Board, you must follow the Board studio (Found here)
  
• You must be active. Activity checks are held periodically, and you must reply to them (see below for details)
  
• The codeword is ecksdee (or XD). You must include this word or a variation of it in your staff application or else you will be rejected.
  
• You must be respectful to anyone who comes through the shop unless they are spamming, not obeying the rules of the shop or Scratch, or not being respectful towards you or the shop.
  
• Failure to comply with any of these terms may result in a strike against you or being fired from the shop.

Staff notes

• Anyone who joins the shop will join as a trainee.
  
• Trainees must be active for three activity checks in a row in order to be promoted to a full member.
  
• Trainees may join the BoD in any position besides President or VP as long as they have responded to two activity checks.
  
• In the event of a vote, trainees will get no votes, members will get one vote, and members of the BoD will get two votes.
  
• If a trainee is on the BoD, they will get two votes.
  
• If you are fired from the shop, you will be notified on your profile and you may reapply.
  
• Activity strikes will be removed if you respond to three checks in a row.
  
• Spamming strikes can be removed based on a BoD vote.
  
• KittenDude172 will always remain in the trainee position, no matter what happens to him.

1. The proposal must have the support of two members on the Board of Directors
2. It is debated by the shop. A discussion will take place in the shop studio.
3. If it gets enough support, the suggestion will be implemented. If the shop reaches an agreement during the discussion, the suggestion will not be voted on. If not, the suggestion will be voted on and will be implemented if a majority of the voters agree upon it.

Activity checks will be held at random, usually every three to six weeks. The Chairman will call the check and keep track of who has responded, but the President or Vice-Chairman will do it if the Chairman can't or doesn't. You will have one week to respond to these activity checks. You will not be notified in the event of an activity check, as the purpose of activity checks is to find out who checks the shop regularly on their own. If you do not respond, you get one strike. It takes two strikes for a trainee to be fired and three strikes for a full member to be fired. If you are on the Board of Directors, you need two strikes to get removed from the BoD.

Customers must be notified:

• When their order has been taken
  
• If the staff member doing their order has any questions/problems
  
• If their order may be late
  
• When their order is done

Note: If a customer says that they aren't following the thread, they must be notified on their profile. If their profile comments are turned off, comment on one of their projects. If they don't have any projects, that's on them.

To be excused from The Emerald Shop temporarily, leave a post asking to be excused. You must include a timeframe for when you'll need to be excused, including a starting and ending date. The maximum amount of time you can be excused for is one month. While excused, you cannot receive activity strikes or be fired from the shop. Once your time being excused is over, you will not be notified, and you will now be able to receive strikes or get fired from the shop.
Note: You don’t need to be excused unless it’s 3-4 days or more.
