Randomguy Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share #123 Posted November 2, 2020 Bump for yet another non-necessarily pinned post. Geez people, wth? Before you go getting all rippy about this, realize what even makes a post pinnable. Ask yourself: Is this crucial information? 90+% of the time, pinned posts are not crucial. Is the post critical for sporadic members to see? Is it timely for a majority of posters? Is this something needed to catch people up on? Serious illness or major event for past members of this and LF, and maybe even for the misguided people from bikeforums.suckass? Change of forum policy by SW? I am sure there are other criteria to look for that I am too tired to remember or recognize right now. So let's take a look at the current pinned topic. Is the pinning crucial? No, not really, seems like a cross-fitty cult thing that is primarily unsustainable. Critical for sporadic posters/lurkers? No, they are sporadic, and sporadic folks most probably are not interested in something like this. Timely? This may be timely, as the month just started, but do we have a declaration of "challenge accepted" by the majority or even a critical mass? I don't think we do, but I haven't been paying attention to this until now. Life event of current or past forum peeps? No. Change of policy? No. I don't want to rain on the squatter's parade, because I do feel it is a noble pursuit (however unsustainable I feel it is). It may have a fringe qualification on the timeliness of it, but even if it is pinned for the few that are doing it, it should have an extremely brief life as a pinned topic. If some people are into it and stick with it, what is to stop people from bumping it up as they keep up with it? It is cool to hear about progress and all, but that hardly merits a pinned topic. Or maybe I just illogically can't stand pinned topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, everybody who is logical realizes that it shouldn't be a pinned post. The few who are irrational and overly emotional just can't get out of their own heads enough to see it. People who aren't all that smart about certain things think that post should be pinned just because they are participating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stops the worst cases, but breakthough cases can occur, but are mild. A booster may be needed from time to time. At any rate, I was agreeing with RR because pinned topics tend the outlive the usefulness of the pinning. At some point they stop being seen and gum up the list. Have you seen forums where half the first page or more consists of pinned topics? Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe people would respond better if the admonitions against discussing politics and exhibiting bad behavior were written out on the Cafe masthead for all to see, rather than being relatively hidden in a "reminder" topic.
