I object to so many sticky threads. If it isn't important news for every citizen, it should not be sticky, IMHO. Such offending threads:
- Citizen groups (can not have a double-standard)
- Old threads, Defunct groups
- Closed issues
- Non-game related
I see perhaps half a dozen such sticky threads. I find them annoying. I also think it would be confusing for new citizens to be confronted with these first while searching for game-related information. Can we agree on a standard?
(Excuse the directness of this article, but it gets the point across without the wishy-washy political correctness - hey, I did put in IMHO! )
I agree with CP. Particularly since citizen groups have an index thread in the main democracy forum! I too find the proliferation of sticky threads to be an annoyance - it's far too easy to miss interesting new threads in a quick scan of the fora when they're buried beneath a big pile of stick-o-rama.
This from our Code of Standards. Section A article 5.
Keep it clean - Sticky threads tend to accumulate. Each citizen has the responsibility to unstick threads that they have stuck when it is no longer appropriate. A thread should always be unstuck when it meets these criteria:
A. The thread is not one of those detailed above.
B. The thread has not had activity in a week or longer.
Perhaps another clause saying:
A thread may be stickied if it meets either of the following criteria:
- somehow relevant for everyone
- important ongoing game-related topic (like victory conditions, newbies group...)
Important, ongoing, and game-related are pretty vague, I admit. I wish I could come up with something more precise but not so specific to name types. I'd like our Mod to do a little friendly discriminating when it comes to applying the sticky substance. I don't think an addition to the CoS is absolutely necessary, but it might give the mod a bit of something to lean on. Of course, the citizens can object and maybe appeal to the Judiciary.
