I will be inactive until around Monday, August 14, 2017, meaning I wouldn't be able to process any upcoming changes involving the proposition list, original post, membership statuses (representative changes and population updates), and accepting applications on my own.

However, the USS should be able to continue function with Co-Owner monkeytrooper, 1st President -Anvard-, 1st Vice President DrChicken24, and 1st Secretary jromagnoli for the next four days. Please do not wait for my response for most things, unless it's a huge question or major concern.

EDIT: Okay, thanks for the heads up of your inactivity, robotcat2000.

Alright, we'll try keep the place from exploding while you're gone.

Done. I'll have it be an executive action, and if a rep wants to add/change anything, they can do it as a proposition.

This likely works with the “please have completed by” part of a shop form, which some shops may not have. What would the substitute to that be if shops do not have a definite expiration date, or would we enforce shops to have one?
Hmm, I'm thinking two weeks (what ISOOC was operating on) would be good, as that's when customers usually start complaining.

Okay, cool.

Great. If a shop argues that they shouldn't have been punished, we can incorporate the justice system in there.
In theory, would it be labeled as “-insert shop name here- v. USS Watcher Dept.” or “-insert shop name here- v. USS?”

I think the second option would look a bit nicer than “Watcher Department.”

Okay, thanks.

(Just a quick check on the forums.)

EDIT: I'm changing my “full inactivity until Monday”, to “semi-inactivity indefinitely.”

I thought so as well.

Yes, for many reasons.

I'm curious why everyone is saying no.

It's a nice idea, but most newspapers fail and we don't have enough people committed yet.

I am going to vote no, mostly because organizing one is fairly complicated and a little unnecessary. Anyone can post updates about their shops here (as long as it isn't spam), partnerships, and USS stuff. This topic can be used as an unorganized newspaper, and the Watchers (now Moderators) can spread important messages. :)

In the future, we can open an official USS account, where projects and such are constructed, but I don't see a complete need yet.

Better response:
I'm voting no because this topic serves as an open discussion and announcement board for all things related to the USS. Anyone within the USS can advertise their shop or spread information as long as it follows the Community Guidelines. If a message is important, Moderators (formerly Watchers and Moderators, but merged to become Moderators) can relay the message across the USS network.

There may be a USS account in the future, but that's pretty distant.
