Labor action notice
I think it's important to remember that not only those with diamonds moderate. We all do - through up and down-voting, through closing, flagging and so forth.
It's whats left of the community at stake....

Close/reopen vote threshold from 5 to 3
I pretty much gave up closing and close-vote reviewing during the recent Monica fiasco.

Do we want anonymity?
I would burn it, I cant see a professional use of that tag.
To compare, on Information Security that tag is used 289 times, and its a better site suited for that tag in my own opinion.

This isn't a widely used tag, getting under 120 questions after 12 years. But the confusion in there is clear. I'm fine with weeding it, and sorting what's in there between maybe patch-cable and ...

I don't think it should be changed but a new tag g-suite should be created and google-apps should be synonymed to it. To that end I have created g-suite but it will require a moderator to create the ...

Please rename freenas tag to truenas
And we have zero truenas questions in the database that I can see. Nice branding strategy. This should be doable.

Duplicate tags [graylog] and [graylog2]
Seems legit. I also note that a lot of the questions tagged with one are also tagged with the other, which is often a giveaway. Let me get that fixed up...
