Not trying to start a flame war. I am sorry that you thought I was being mean. That was not my intent . Anyways I get that they use it in hotels and businesses but we are over the internet and you cannot show expression and people always take it a bad way. All i'm trying to say is that if you say “glad you understand” it could come off sarcastic. At least that is what I thought of when I read it. It could come off rude especially to a person who wanted to work for. (I am saying all of this with a kind expression and not trying to be rude.) there are better ways to tern somebody down. Please don't take any of this personally.

Results
lol, no, why would you let everyone complete orders if there are literally team members in the shop - 60.00%
Yes, it would help so much to connect with external Scratchers and also with completing orders more easily and conveniently. - 40.00%
I don't know, these options both seem reasonable and I'm unbiased about it. - 0.00%
I don't care whether this gets implemented or not, you do what you wish - 0.00%

Yup, that was definitely a turn of events, I did not expect that particular suggestion to be downvoted like that. We could have a do-over, but that would make it unfair and it might seem like we're only doing a do-over because I don't like the current results (I know you didn't exactly ask for one, but I'm just remarking)

Shop Suggestion

I propose that Longarms Creations adds BoD meetings into its shop: A BoD meeting is a discussion made on the team members' studio that can only be interacted with by BoD members, and has three different discussion channels, made into three different comment chains. The first channel would be for discussing the day-to-day running of the shop, the second would be for shop suggestions, and the last would be for discussing other items relating to the shop. We would strike any non BoD members that use the BoD meeting, and give our BoD members 1 week to participate in the BoD meeting. This system would allow us to further fine-tune how our shop is managed, and would also introduce an easier way to propose suggestions.

Shop Suggestion!

Color Key for this Post

Things I would like to remove
This is would like to add

1. Explanation

This suggestion is to do with “impossible orders”
So I've been looking at SUCS to get a feel for the history of this place, and I found an HTML order that was deemed “impossible,” that I had actually made for fun without even knowing about the order. I would like to propose some changes to the Terms & Conditions.

2. Changes to the Terms & Conditions

1 - Ordering at Longarms Creations

1.1 - We will not complete any orders that don't follow the Community Guidelines or break the rules of Scratch or the forums. Compelling us to do so will result in an order ban from Longarms.
1.2 - We will not complete any orders that are nearly impossible for mere children like us (e.g. high-tech cloud systems or an exact recreation of the Mona Lisa)
1.2 - You can submit any order, but if people take it and feel like it is impossible, then it will be given to the Order Confirmer (read the section in this post on the BoD for more info). This is to make sure your order will almost always be completed.
1.3 - If your order is complicated or involves long code or a lot of art, the deadline may not be under 24 hours.
1.3.1 - That being said, if you did not read the above term and still set your deadline really low, we are not liable if your order turns out in bad quality or doesn't get completed within the deadline.
1.4 - If your order hasn't been finished within the deadline, do not put the blame on random team members who have done nothing wrong - contact the team member who took your order in the first place.
1.5 - Please try to fill in our customer survey when your order has been completed so we know whether you liked it or not.
1.6 - Lastly, please remember to credit the team member who made your project or otherwise anything shared on an application/website using Fair Use will be reported.
1.7 - You must include the sentence “coronavirus should leave this earth” in your order for confirmation that you've read these policies.

2 - Working at Longarms Creations

2.1 - Applying

2.4 - Resigning & Taking Leaves

2.4.1 - Leaves may only be one month in total, and may be extended to one month and a half but only if the reason is extremely urgent. Any proof that it is not will give you two strikes.
2.4.2 - You may always rejoin after you resign, but you may not resign because you are going on a hiatus or something similar - instead, just take a leave.

3.1 - General Terms / Requirements

3.1.1 - You should've read the rest of the Terms and Conditions at least twice (and you must include all code sentences in your application).
3.1.2 - You should already be a team member here for a month. (This rule was enforced on the 10th of August, and therefore any old BoD members could have joined before they were a team member for a month)

3.1.7 - You may not accept anyone applying for a position higher than you if you have hiring and firing power.
3.1.8 - You must also use the code sentence “I have some neat tokens” in your application to get accepted.

3.2 - PR Officers / General Partnership Manager

3.2.1 - The main PR Officer must create an official Longarms Creations advertising studio and invite the remaining two and promote them to manager. Then, they should invite all of their followers there and advertise Longarms Creations in the description with all of the info needed. All discussing may be done between themselves, and if the studio gets abused the officer who did it will receive 3 strikes.
3.2.2 - The assistant PR Officer must create an official Longarms Creations advertising forum thread in the Show and Tell forum and advertise the advertising studio there and describe what Longarms Creations is about and that the people should check it. Then, all of the PR Officers should try to work together to bump the forum thread everyday.
3.2.3 - PR Officers are the only positions in Longarms Creations apart from the president that have the privilege to accept and negotiate with partnerships, but however, they must be extremely smart with negotiation tactics. If a partner keeps the deal at something that they get more advantages than us, then you may not accept the partnership - and if we get more than them, you also may not accept the partnership, as it could be cheating if done otherwise. Additionally, if both sides of the deal are too low or too extreme (advertising the shop every month or year, or advertising the shop on the front page) it may not be taken as deals like that can be very problematic.
3.2.4 - The general partnership manager, when accepted into the shop, will be requested to quote the current Partnerships post and manage it themselves, and if the PR Officers or the president accept a partnership, the general partnership manager must add it into the post. The current Partnerships post will not be updated, but if the partnerships manager goes inactive or on leave, then it will be kept as a reserve and will start being updated again.
3.2.5 - The general partnership manager must also host partnership activity checks, which means they should go on all of our partners and put a post saying “Hello! I am (your username), the partnership manager of Longarms Creations, and since you're our partner, we're hosting an activity check to make sure your shop is well and active. Please respond within the next one week, or you will be removed from our partnerships list.” And if they don't respond within a week or the deadline the manager gave, they can let me know and remove the partner from the Partnerships post if the president confirmed or agreed.
3.2.6 - You must use the code sentence “i am public expert xd” in your application to confirm that you've read all these terms since the PR Officers are serious and hard positions. You must be fully sure that you can take up the job and stay active.

4 - Partnerships

4.1 - All questions must be answered in order to be a partner.
4.2 - The shop we're partnering with must have 3+ employees and 4+ completed orders
4.3 - The deal must be fair, and it can't be something like “daily advertisements for us, and we give nothing to you!” It must be a worth and fair deal for each of us which improves both of our shops.
4.4 - If you are not the owner of the shop and you're filling out the form, you must include a post providing proof that the owner gave permission.
4.4.1 - You need not show proof if your position in the other shop has power to apply for partnership in ours.

2. BoD Changes

President: Total control and power.
Vice President: Has all power except implementing new policies and taking official actions (however, they may ask permission from the president to do so). Fills in for president when they're inactive.
Second Vice President: Same as vice president, and can also fill in for president when both positions are inactive.
Secretary: Has same powers as second VP but cannot host activity checks. Fills in for all presidents when inactive with assistant secretary.
Assistant Secretary: Same as secretary and fills in when they're inactive.
Manager: The manager can lend help to team members who are struggling with their orders but has the same powers as assistant secretary.

Order Confirmer: This position deals with orders that the workers who have taken them have deemed impossible.
PR Officer: Advertises shop, deals with partnership requests, and takes the job of bumping this topic.
Assistant PR Officer: Helps PR Officer and takes control if PR Officer is inactive or goes on leave.
General Partnerships Manager: Manages Partnerships post, hosts partnership activity checks, and has same control as PR Officers.

idk man: Meme position. You have no power except for taking orders. Take this position if all BoD ones are full but you just want to be recognized.

Hm, just confirming - by helping each other, do you mean we can take each other's orders whenever possible?
