Title: Mods- requesting thread to be pinned - Collectibles
Post by: ChiBitCTy on January 15, 2021, 03:55:44 AM
@Mods -( I wasn’t sure if I should post this here or in collectibles).. It looks like Theymos recently had the same idea, more or less, as I have for the collectibles board, a “Welcome” type link for all the newbies coming here after this massive bull run. We are seeing the same thing in collectibles, a rush of new accounts. With BTC’s rise, people are looking to “cash in” their funded coins. Left and right we are seeing posts from new accounts who are wanting to sell their coins / asking how to sell them and they are pretty clueless ( as was I when I first got here ).

Proposing the thread below by SatsLife ( or one similar ) be pinned at the top of collectibles. It would do the community and newbies alike a big favor.  It also would basically be replacing this thread by Cyrus that is really no longer needed -  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1494300.0

Thanks for your consideration!

What a great idea and fully supported by me . There’s always a surge of newbies joining the forum in align with when BTC surges. As OP says this is generally to cash in their coins. Unfortunately, the forum can be a confusing and even intimidating environment, so if SatsLife can be stickied, a lot of this can be negated.
Personally I’m not huge fan of lots of stickied threads as the more there are the less they are read, but this one to me is a no brainier ! Anyway my 2 sats  :)

Since the other topic about the dedicated Auctions board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0) has been unpinned, the new topic should also mention that board and its benefits (the OP and posts within the topic in that section cannot be modified or deleted).

My thoughts were to keep it simple Sam, as I feel like most pinned threads, especially with brackets, are messy and blend in too easily and are often overlooked..   How about something  like “ Collectibles - How to Auction/ Buy / Sell & More “  ..or something like this ?

Great call - forgot about this  (  the OP and posts within the topic in that section cannot be modified or deleted).- will ask Sats to kindly add to OP.  Assuming this is what you’re suggesting..
