6. Skip option revised
"One skip in 30 days...
A skip will last one year. You will receive that profile again in the future."
( http://100stamps.club/discussions/messages/195 )
7. Change country
I don't know somebody changed his own country. I think... for example... a member doesn't want to have a swap from Germany and he selects Germany as a country and makes the option "From all countries, excluding my own country". May be otherwise...

8. Additional slots
"Everybody receives an extra slot proportionally with the number of positive sent exchanges."
( http://100stamps.club/discussions/messages/74 )
"Additional slots are given to members to compensate for the expired lots and to allow new members to enter the system.
These extra lots are given proportionally to everybody. For 'x' positive exchanges (4 or 5 stars) you receive an extra slot. The 'x' number varies depending on how many new slots are needed. It depends on how many new members join and how many exchanges expire.
Starting with this month [July 2016] only the positive exchanges are considered for extra slots."

I think it's a very complex moral thing.
I think this was originally made in order to always have an address for those who wish to make a swap.

Just an example - http://100stamps.club/profile/Williamvg
2015.12.02 (3*) -> 2015.12.10
2015.12.24 (4*) -> 2016.01.01
2016.01.27 (3*) -> 2016.01.31
2016.02.02 (4*) -> 2016.02.04
2016.02.22 (5*) -> 2016.02.24
2016.02.23 (5*) -> 2016.02.24
additional lot -> 2016.02.24
2016.03.16 (4*) -> 2016.03.19
An additional lot was sent after 4 positive and 2 neutral feedbacks.
And now, as we see, William was left the project (missing for more than a year), having received more letters (8) than sent (7). Whether it is good or bad depends on the moral attributes of the person.
For example, guyana1230 did not want to follow in a such manner (http://100stamps.club/discussions/messages/168). I applaud her for this noble step.
I wanted to know for how many positive rates an additional lot is given now. What is the number 'x' Danubius wrote about? Here are my swaps (I have only positive feedbacks just now):

It turns out now that an additional lot is given after 8 positive feedbacks. Since there is no significant increase in the club members, I think that Danubius would have to increase this slot several times to prevent the system degeneration ... (if someone gets more, then there will be those who do not receive letters in return).
