Is it reasonable to ask that the Mod Detectives thread get pinned? Perhaps folks might see it more often, rather than opening a new thread.

(like I did just now)

I'd say so, you should see how bad it is next door...

I just reported the Mod Detectives thread (click "Report" on the first post in that thread), and wrote a nice message to the moderators requesting that that thread be stickied.

I suggest you all doing the same to get the voice across.

I think that would be more job for the mods to drop the thread once it has +200 posts and doing the same with a new thread to pin it, which means none of us members can start a new thread and if we do then the OP need to report it every time to get it pinned.
