Should we drop our federation motto since it may not be a correct Latin translation? We may replace it with an English motto or a verified-accurate Latin translation if necessary.

Both Yandex and Google Translate say that the motto in Latin would be Civitatum et cooperantem tabernas, but this may be wrong.

Yeah, sorry - I wanted to use something other than Google because I wanted to fact-check it, and the Bing result came after Yandex, so I clicked on Yandex…

Is anyone willing to take over the shop directory project if p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p- (“p”) is unable to work on it soon? (We might abandon this project.)

I know I don't work here, but earlier the Cloud Blue team was working on a shop directory which later became an SCA project, so I think we could help.

By the way, the SCA will begin working on the Unnamed 2021 Shop Directory Project soon, and I heard the USS was making one, too.

I just didn't have much to say in response to your post in particular.

I may have mentioned this before, but the inclusion of the federation's motto should not impact your banner. Before the vote begins, I ask for everyone to not take into consideration the possibility that the motto will be removed. Please only judge the banners based upon other principles: overall design, font use, etc. I will repeat this in the official banner contest voting announcement, assuming I'll be posting it.

Thank you for informing us! I'll consider what the USS can do about the project, and return to you about that later.

Updates to the USS

The current thread for the fifth administration of the United Shops of Scratch, also known as 78ch3's thread, was created on January 15, 2021, and began regular use by the end of that month.

Owners Message

So far, the new USS has started off pretty well. We've gained 15+ shop applicants, I’m seeing new posts daily and there is very little negative argument going on. It didn’t take long for the new USS to gain traction after it's reboot on my birthday to 2 months later. However, I ran into an issue where the first page of the USS was unaccessible, due to a “security issue” error appearing. I’m pretty sure this is a glitch in the system. Others could access it fine, I could not. I need to use my PC to edit the front page, which is inconvenient as it doesn't take as long to boot up my iPad as it does with my PC (even though the difference is rather small). I’m hoping this issue is not permanent, but for now it is difficult to get things updated. The USS team is doing a great job, and I hope they can continue doing this in the future.

To make it easier to keep updates, I say from now on we keep a list of everything on the front page that happens up to the relevance level of @Austinato's original post. It'll be good for archiving and we can just trim the list of the past month to include the important things shops need to know about.

Thank you for informing us! There may be a delay in changes but I acknowledge this post!

Edit: As I previously stated, we might be able to start the banner contest vote soon.
Edit 2: Still working on the ongoing situations with some staff positions; we might be able to make some changes pretty soon.

I've decided to keep this post reserved for other potential uses, so it's currently accessible by visiting the bottom of the staff tools post. (Hopefully the reference part of the staff tools post will grow and contain more helpful resources!)
