Renewal of business blips before expiry

[ZenGirl]

I would like to make a suggestion to allow renewal of business blips before they expire. As a store owner this impacts me in real life quite a bit. You can not renew your blip until it has expired and been removed from the map. Then you have to time your logging into the game to renew it. Many times when you log in there are no reporters available so your business just stays off the map until there is someone available, so then you have to log back in a few times to try to get one if you are unable to play at that moment. I find this very unrealistic. What company in real life has their website/icon/or otherwise removed from a site or directory before they can actually renew it? Doesn't happen. There should be an option to renew before it expires and for longer than just one week. 

Also, there is no way to know if there are any reporters available to take your call. So you drive all the way to your store to place the call so they know your location, only to find out no reporters are available. Perhaps they could do the same system as they added for DCC. 

Thank you for your consideration,

Can be mostly solved ICly

I have a few specific individuals who I've asked to help me make sure there's a blip on the store and I toss them a deal, supplies or a little extra cash. They know the codes and expectations and we go from there.

I agree with you @Xoza because I understand a lot that it can be difficult owning a business to have inuf time to renew it +1

Currently there is a command to remove it, granted you could potentially lose some money from how long you buy it, you can always /RemoveOrderedBlip then order a new one whenever you around.
