Another Stale Media Prune | Stricter Conditions

Hello everyone,

As you may have seen on the left of the page, we’ve once again gotten close to our storage capacity. In an effort to open up some more space and still be able to maintain the open requests submissions as usual.

Movie and Show media that was added but has yet to be watched since it’s addition for 90 days, it will be removed. This has changed from the prior constraint of 180 days.

Preliminary dry runs indicate a significant relief to the storage arrays utilized space under these new conditions.
