I wouldn't advise it. It has been scientifically verified by a team of experts and reported in countless journals of behavioral studies and included in several recent anolytical papers on internet behavior patterns: stickying a thread ensures that nobody will ever read it, under any circumstances, ever. Not once. People who come to forums such as this will walk ten miles in the snow to avoid reading a thread that has been stickied. They will deliberately and methodically cut off their fingers one by one rather than subject themselves to the agony and tedium and dull, dreary, brain-cell-destroying monotony of reading a stickied thread. They will eat eat broccoli rather than read a stickied thread.

Absolutely correct. However, it would be easier to find so that those of us who point people to this thread have it handy.
Unfortunately it's been pointed out before that it's not going to get pinned since Bethesda doesn't favor one fansite over the other --> no stickying for anyone's site-related topics. I don't have to say this as much as the Fileplanet explanation itself, but could ask them to make a sticky about it

I know, some folks feel that it may cause our sun to go supernova to do something contrary to professional ethics. I, myself, usually understand and support them, if only because such things, when they operate as they are designed to, eliminate needless squabbling. But I am hoping that ease-of-use and prevention-of-flaming(due to frustration)-newbies-who-need-directions might ultimately win the day.
