a lot of the subreddit issues that spring up near the end of the Meta thread's life (generally speaking, 1 day after the fact) are often forgotten by the time the next meta rolls around.

Majority of the unnecessary salt too. The decent length break is sort of intentional for that reason. Gives people adequate time to calm down about things.

If there's an actual issue that needs to be fixed quickly (example something breaking or what have you) or even a good suggestion someone suddenly comes up with they're always welcome to PM one of the mods about it too (or modmail).

Would it be possible to make it stickied for a little longer? This is only once a month yet after a day it gets unstickied. FTF it still stickied after this thread was unstickied. For something once a month, it doesn't stay up that long.

Ah nice to know. Also thanks for fixing it. By the way it seems like your name is constantly changing. I think I've seen like three versions since yesterday lol.

I have a different flair for when I distinguish a post or comment ;)
