right now I have to have a separate elder trading area and/or individual trading counters for people (which could be for anyone, but at this point (which could change) I trust my elders not to mess with the tables so we just have our own room). Regardless, though, whoever owns the table is the only one who can update it or clear it, and we’ve had people quit with full trading counters before. Having an area for Elders to sell extra mats and allow multiple people to change the counters would be awesome.
As an adjunct to your idea – a simpler solution to people quitting will full tables would be to allow leaders/elders to modify tables belonging to recruits/members, or some mechanism (like a leadership override) that kicks in if the user hasn’t been in in X # of days. It could lead to its own issues, of course, but so can most things.
