World Perks Program - Issues and Status

(I'm proposing we have a sticky for WorldPerks issues, with updates as they occur. I'll be happy to maintain this thread. I've reserved 3 posts below, for more content. If this is accepted as a sticky, I'll remove this header, and dedicate the first 4 posts to WorldPerks issues, how to resolve them, etc. I'll try to be as impartial as possible. If I come across otherwise, I'll be more then happy to edit content for impartiality. Content style will be cleaned and prettied as time permits, but content will be updated as frequently as possible.

Moderator, do you want to try this?
