I'm not convinced people knowing it's extended will increase the likelihood of things being ahelped, at least not enough to justify more extended rounds. In 2021, 3 was put into extended mode for months on end and was like the wild west basically the entire time. I doubt that was an environment where people felt empowered to ahelp things.
I think people should learn to be comfortable acting on incomplete information, and we should do things to encourage them to not wait until they 100% know someone is breaking the rules to ahelp them. Goonstation has some of the best logs of any server. Admins have the tools to tell what's actually happening, they can figure out if something needs to be followed through on or not.
P.S. if you aren't literally spamming garbage over and over you probably aren't ahelping too much. Multiple admins have, in Discord or through OOC chat, practically begged people to please ahelp more.
