I would like to break the ice with a meme before segue into my anti-abuse dev post

You may be laughing but... _{I died a little inside when I got this news}

I'm just playing around. I understand the situation and not sore about it. Ultimately, I'm glad that I found an opportunity to help. Silver lining is we got a good meme out of it.

In case you were wondering, here is the post.

Without further ado, let's roll right into the dev post.

Repository

https://github.com/anthonyadavisii/steemflagrewards

Today, we are going to go over an operational control put into the @steemflagrewards bot maintenance workflow. Previously, patching was done in an ad-hoc manner which had the potential for issues such as when the dependent libraries were updated. Well, we need to start getting serious about patching so it's time we put a schedule in place.

Going to start putting patching into our workflow for @steemflagrewards.

Eventually, the bot will be put into a VPS with multiple admin volunteers to include myself. For now the operational controls will be my duties to perform.

1. Patching will be performed on Tuesday ("Patch Tuesday", yes, a Windows Admin ritualistic practice.)

Commands:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
sudo -H python3.6 -m pip install beem --upgrade
sudo -H python3.6 -m pip install beem --upgrade
sudo reboot now

(When OS back online)
cd <directory of sfrbot.py)
export TOKEN=
export PASSPHRASE=
python3.6 sfrbot.py

I've pinned the msg to our sfr_dev channel on the Steem Flag Rewards Discord

Eventually, we will get more methodical with our documentation. As a matter of fact, I just signed up for readthedocs but I am not sure how to use just yet. That will come in time.

In addition to the aforementioned changes to operations, I have made a few changes our repository that I believe are worthy of note.

1. New branch created for Steem Flag Rewards Production Code.
2. Changing STEEM_MIN_REPLY_INTERVAL to 3 for HF 20 - PR for MasterPR for Prod
3. Adding Resource Credit % to Status Cmd for Active Monitoring. PR for Master PR for Prod
4. Resolved sfr_acc (LightSteem account class) dependency in function for prod. PR. Also, a few dependencies were switched back to Beem as advised by @emrebeyler for a few reasons, more helper classes being one of them.

Think that just about does it for now. Thanks for reading and supporting my endeavors on the blockchain.
