Discrimination is rather a silly word on this context, unless you're using it in the sense of the criteria used to choose which threads are stuck, but that's not my sense of your post.
As I said in the thread to which Brian linked, too many stickies are like having none at all. Except it's even worse, because inactive stickies push down active threads that haven't been stuck. At its height, there were 18 stickies in the Deals forum; I bet most couldn't begin to name the ten that are gone. Heck, I'm not sure I could and I'm the one who made the cuts. The criteria were admittedly a little squishy, but they included popularity, number of participants, utility and relevance. |

I'm coming around to the view that active threads should not be stickied.
Would there be an outcry if MobileRead made such a change? Active threads naturally sort to the top of the list. It's only important-but-rarely-changed-threads that need to be stickied, IMO. |

If it is inactive, which is the sense of stick it? Please, an example where this makes sense, as bargains are usually short-lived.

In addition to stickies for important basic information, I suggest that there be temporary stickies for Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, since those are major shopping events.

Seasonal temporary stickies seem perfectly reasonable to me. As does a stickied TOC/index of all bargain threads.

I wish we could have stickies for a few topics that recur frequently, often started by new members who apparently haven't read past the first page or two of the forum and think they've come up with an exciting new idea for discussion (for example, "paper books vs electronic books")

Since not many people seem to be concerned about this, I think we'll probably leave things as they are for now. |
