The Emerald Shop 6.0

Important

Portfolio | Log + History | Awards

The Emerald Shop is a multi-purpose shop that provides many services. We've been around for almost five years, and we've been one of the biggest shops on Scratch for most of that time. We have many skilled employees who are always completing orders of many kinds, from art to scripting to voice acting. We have had four other threads in the past; we've moved four times because the shop president changed (the first two moves along with the most recent one), and once because the shop president moved accounts. Whether you've come here to order, apply, or just to window shop, we're sure you'll find what you're looking for at The Emerald Shop!

Rules And Rights

Staff

•Be respectful of all people who order from the shop as well as all workers
•Review the UOC as frequently as possible and take any orders you can do
•Help out trainees if they need it
•Hide the word green in your application form
•Decline unreasonable orders
•Employees and BoD members are out when they receive 3 strikes and they can reapply after 2 weeks
•Strikes are represented with a ×
• Employees on leave are represented with a $
•Every order you complete is one ✓
•Every 5 order you complete is a *
•Employees can join the BoD after working at the shop for two weeks or more and after being accepted by two first class employees
•Failure to follow these rules may result in you getting a strike or being fired

Trainees

All new members will join as trainees
To be promoted to a full member, they must do at least one of the following:
•Complete 5 orders
•Respond to 3 activity checks
•Get promoted by a BoD vote
•Join the BoD
See the bottom of the FAQs for more info on trainees.

Proposing a new rule/suggestion to the shop

The proposal must have the support of two members on the Board of Directors
It is debated by the shop. A discussion will take place in the shop staff thread.
If the shop reaches an agreement during the discussion, the suggestion will not be voted on. If not, the suggestion will be voted on.
If it gets enough support (a majority of voters/discussers), the suggestion will be implemented.

Activity Checks

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.

Customer Notifications

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.

Leaves of Absence

To be on leave from The Emerald Shop temporarily, fill out the absence form. While on leave, you cannot receive activity strikes or be fired from the shop. You will not be notified when your time of being on leave is over, and you will then 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.

News:
Shop Opened-March 29, 2022
First 2 employees-March 29, 2022

History
1.0 History
We joined the shop federation, which later closed. We soon grew to 19 members and remained active until April 2017, when we became very inactive. However, in February 2018 we became active again before 13 of our members became inactive and we dwindled to 6 members. We joined the USS and started getting a good few orders, most of which we completed. Within a few months, we grew to 12 members, and @-raspberry_'s new account @FloatingMuffins took over the shop.
In June 2018, we introduced elections for our USS reps and simplified our shop structure. We soon joined the SPA and entered a partnership with Toadcode’s Music Shop and T.I.P.S. In October of 2018, we were awarded a certificate for “Most Employees in a Shop”.

2.0 History
Due to FloatingMuffins' inactivity starting in late October, the Vice Presidents (@npjensen and @pinkiepie710) moved the shop to a new thread created by @npjensen on December 12th of 2018. In January of 2019, @npjensen grew inactive, and @pinkiepie710 was given the presidency of the shop. They then moved it to yet another thread on February 13th of 2019 with 29 members.

3.0 History
The shop remained mostly the same until around May 2019, when much of our staff became inactive and unclaimed orders began piling up. Some members came and went, but the shop usually had around 30 members, though many were inactive. However, many long-time, dedicated members of the shop, including those on the Board of Directors, remained. Soon, a new batch of members did begin working at the shop. This rocky period lasted until around October, but we always had a good few active members and were able to keep our position as one of the largest shops on Scratch.
After dwindling to less than 20 members in September 2019, we rose back up to 25 in October. The creator of the shop, @FloatingMuffins, even rejoined the shop. At the beginning of December 2019, the shop became very active. We gained many new members, and some old members rejoined the shop. We began getting more orders and completed most of these.
Starting at the end of December 2019 and going until the end of January 2020, the shop went through some big changes. In December, we abolished departments completely, letting all members and trainees take orders from all departments. We also changed and added some terms, requirements for joining, and BoD positions.
Around February 2020, we began to have a problem with spamming and off-topic posts, so Pie and Muffins began giving out strikes for spamming to deal with the problem. We also had our first real BoD meeting and shuffled around positions on the BoD a lot due to workers leaving and becoming inactive.
February also marked multiple milestones for the shop. We finally reached 0 orders on the UOC after months (years, even) of always having orders piled up. Not all orders were finished, but they were at least being worked on. February 13th was the official 1-year anniversary of The Emerald Shop 3.0.
At the end of March, Pie made the decision to move accounts, and members of the shop said that we should move to a new forum topic as well. On March 29th, we created a topic in the Collaborations forum to work on the move to 4.0. For over a month, we planned for the new forum; making banners, suggesting changes to the shop, and planning exactly when everything would happen. On May 1st, Pie, Muffins, TaterTime, mango38, and -DancerRJV- reserved their posts on the 4.0 thread, and on May 7th, we officially opened The Emerald Shop 4.0.

5.0 History
After a long while having Pie be the president in their new account, they decided that TES would close. This came as a surprise to many of the members of TES, and one of the Vice Presidents suggested to -DancerRJV- that she might want to merge her shop, The Strawberry Shop, with TES. Minty(-DancerRJV-) liked the idea quite a bit, and that's what ended up happening.
On March 1st 2021, the transition was complete, and the shop opened up in the new 5.0 forum.

6.0 History
The 5.0 was successfully run for about a year before it slowly died and became inactive. _AshAnimates thought they were up to the task and they decide to make the TES 6.0, with the help of several others.
