Community day prep
Why does the latest article says : " it's inadvisable to catch anything until start time" ? Just to get the 1800 triple star dust from the 1st catch of the day ?
I was planning a hardcore grind from 6am to 6pm I think I'll stick to this plan.

Because you would rub yourself the chance of getting triple stardust for some Pokemon if you catch all spawned pokemon right before the event starts (if the event starts, there would be less Pokemon, as there could be)
It doesn't really make a difference if you don't want to catch everything or aren't able to, because too many Pokemon spawn, not enough balls, etc
Personally, I'll stop 10min before the event starts
Prior to last community day some people were talking about adjusting their catch streak to occur on community day and not catching anything until the event started just to get the really big bonus at the start of the event.
Personally, I think the additional bonus (4800 total roughly) pales in comparison to missing an entire day of catching (to set streak - 20-30k) and a half day of not catching (waiting for event - 10-15k).
The bonuses are nice, but definitely not worth adjusting your playstyle for. I mean if you have to work in the morning anyways and you'd only be giving up a few hunderd or a few thousand it might be worth waiting. But the lost opportunity cost is too high for me.
