Given the size the community has grown to and concerns around our current approach to maintenance, I’d like to get some feedback on when we should look to schedule maintenance going forward.

There’s two cases covered by the poll, so please choose the all options that fit your preferences.

(Usually, this would need to occur during the day due to time constraints)

Flagged posts would be reported per normal from a special system-user account, but reports would not be forwarded to remote instances to avoid false-positives.

These rules would be fixed based on metadata from the posts (account indicators, mentio
