Id have no problem with the admins here pinning something to the top.
But doing it do to activity didnt make sense to me (dont they go to the top anyway for activity?) and doing it for a Users request since we all would request to have our Posts pinned (I cheat now, I repost to mine so that the activity moves it up)

Re: Featured Threads: Yes or No?
I like things pinned, as long as there aren't lots of them... and as long as they don't say pinned for all eternity. So pinning, while helpful, tends to be abused such that 5 archaic, boring threads from 1963 fill the top 5 slots.
I support pinning if a mod takes them down when they become irrelevant or no longer visited.

Re: Featured Threads: Yes or No?
Here are things that should be pinned (at least as to what I would think):
Fan Sites (ESPECIALLY when the mod tools are released, that way there is an easy place to find the different sites)
FAQS (or, Questions & Answers)
Important info that only the mod (or Shrapnel/Illwinter ppl) can post in, like patch dates, ect. **should keep this one though where only those ppl can post, or it would lose it's purpose with clutter**
Dominions II REVIEWS (The links to the different websites.) This one should also be closely watched, so there are not double postings of reviews
I think those are the most important items that should be pinned....important things, easy to get to....

polls with new votes are not considered having received a new activity as of now.

Re: Featured Threads: Yes or No?
Like Gandalf, I said "no" but only because of the wording. The "yes" choice said "based on their activity and/or user request." Like cpbeller and others mentioned, I don't mind pinned threads, but they should be ones that make sense based on content rather than activity. Activity naturally brings threads to the top anyway.

Re: Featured Threads: Yes or No?
I vote for yes, threads like modding should be pinned. [In the future at least, since we dont have Doms II. and the mod tools in our hands yet.  ] |
