One big thing for me, I wish we had group based exceptions. Like, for staff, to not automatically merge on time. Have a checkbox that says 'do not merge' or some other option.
I know it'd be a pain due to the nature of the process, but man it's annoying. We run a fight board (MMA) and some of the staff post repeats that the addon helps, like posting 10 times in a row adding new vid clips as they come up. But if they haven't expired the timeline and they want to make a new post that doesn't merge they don't have the option to bypass it.
