Sticky threads

[Yoel]

The possibility to make a

thread sticky by paying points should be removed, having irrelevant threads sticked is confusing to newbies and

quite frankly pisses me off (but that's not the point is it? ).
If a thread is useful, mods will stick it

themselves, if they don't, there's a damn good reason..

Yoel,

I think you are right.

So far there is only one, isn't there? Or did I miss something? I always figured "Well, if somebody buys a sticky

thread, we (the mods) can always *unstick* it whenever we want to."

I was referring to the couple that

popped up in the phero forum, I don't know if there are others.
As for unstickying them, I considered that too,

but then I thought that every single user-sticked thread didn't deserve to be sticked in the first place, so mods

will unstick it, and the user points will be lost. Which isn't really fair to them too.

I made one sticky (possibly

even the first user sticky on the forum), and would defend the decision to this day. If I were the point-whoring

kind, I might make a post both interesting, provocative, and make it sticky. It'd be interesting to see whether the

stickymaker is the same as the post author..

Without exception.
