What do you guys think will happen in the series:
1.Sonata's seiyuu will be replace by other members?
2.Sonata character will be "graduated" form the series?

There should be a third choice: She keeps voicing the character.
We don't even know when exactly she will officially graduate. Kuumin, being one of the most popular members in SKE48, may take some time to graduate, kind of like Acchan in AKB48 who took several months to graduate.

If that does not happen, the more likely option is for replacement. Taking out a character most likely requires her to voice it anyway (unless she is introduced in the 2nd season already as a dead/disappeared/graduated member) and can mess up any story already planned for 2nd season. There are quite a few members already appeared in AKB0048 as some minor characters. They may be given the chance to voice this role in place of Kuuminn.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I'll take option 3. I will not suffer my cute Sonata being voiced by anyone else but Kuumin, and simply removing her would be shoddy scriptwriting.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

I'll also take option #3. Remember, with most shows they're recorded weeks in advance especially if there's a holiday involved and this time there were multiple holidays.
