I’m starting to think posts should get a pinned mod comment if the poster doesn’t assert that the person/organization had a specified amount of advance notice. That could be a tricky norm to define, as there can be valid reasons not to provide advance notice (e.g., breaking news or a situation where delay could risk clearly identifiable harm), and it’s not trivial to define with precision what type of posts warrant an advance-notice norm. I’m not envisioning a hostile pinned comment, but I am wondering if there should be an “official” statement that says something along the lines of: “we don’t delete criticisms that were not shared with the person/organization in advance, but—at least absent special circumstances—no one should expect a prompt response where the poster chose not to share the post in advance.”
