Weekly IS a bit excessive, although if it were to be implemented I would say it would be more likely to end up with "one admin picks a favorite" than "the staff gets nothing done." We usually give ourselves a whole week to vote on contests in order to accommodate staff schedules.

Automated raffle... I don't really like the idea. Well, that's not true, it's a GOOD idea, but I don't think it would work for Trisphee. To me it feels too much like a gamble that would get dominated by a couple of wealthy buyers. The first raffle we did was a success just because we gave away SO MUCH STUFF, put a limit on how many times someone can win, and manually made sure to prevent mules from participating. Automating this on a regular basis would end up flooding the market with items and would be at risk for abuse.

We DO have a community manager. That job is, technically, Sei's. And he is in fact working on an event as a response to this thread.
