- 90 tagged by staff, 5 responded, 85 unresponded
- 144 tagged by mods, 6 responded, 138 unresponded
Footnotes:
1 This number doesn't always match the sum of unresponded posts reported in previous periods. I considered 'unresponded' to mean posts that have had no response from staff. Those posts can, however, have had their status-review tag removed by a mod, and thus have been accounted for on that corresponding stat in the previous quarter. Furthermore, staff members leaving or joining the company can produce very slight discrepancies in this number.
