Title: Make Stickies Stand out? Suggestion
Post by: Thekool1s on December 04, 2017, 09:56:11 AM
Well we have seen many threads being created on daily basis on topics which are covered in stickies, most of them by the newbies, this increases spam on the forum, One of the reason i believe is that the stickies don't standout. With all these icons being thrown around in every single thread title, it doesn't makes much sense for the newbies, what i am suggesting here is that their colour should be changed to something which will standout instead of which blends in with the forum theme. Would like to hear your thoughts on this.

I don't think that the problem is their position, but rather the general stance against spam and similar. A lot of those are *acting* like they haven't read those just in order to create a field for farming up their other accounts. The way that sticky threads are positioned now is very clear, but still non intrusive. Anything more would probably be too intrusive.

Agreed, 90/100 threads are from account farmers, pretending they don't know about the *things they are asking. My suggestion is for the rest of the users. The real ones, Even they fall into this trap and are often labelled spammers right away which brings negativity around bitcoin in the long run. The more time i spend here the more it becomes clearer to me, we need a mechanism to stop account farming somehow and a mechanism which can identify an account farmer from a legit user.

You could make them dance and flash but they would still be ignored, just like the forum rules.

1.Why changes are still bring suggested on this forum ? Aren't we suppose to migrate to the newer version already ? It's almost 2018.

2.The problem is not the stickies entirely,English could be it.The users creating redundant threads if you have noticed ,are mainly non native English speakers so even if the read the stickies,I don't  know they will understand it.

3.People love tl:dr versions over the paragraphs.
