There’s a lot happening all at once right now. Content from last week is as irrelevant as if was from 10 years ago. Lots of content being shared here, and for good/obvious reasons! Though, I feel like we can do better with stickies some days.
What do you guys want to see more of?? More Q analysis? More Data deep dives? More Habbenings? More general/breaking news? Health/wellness content?? Other??
If you see content which you think is sticky worthy, the EASIEST way for us to notice it is if you deport it as other and write in that you think this is good sticky material. IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE YOUR POST EITHER.
Let us know. We are working VERY hard behind the scenes to get you all the latest habbeining and KEK content without dooming or over memeing.
Personal opinion, mods should only sticky their own posts once the reach a threshold of upvotes. Maybe 50? It's kind of annoying seeing posts with 3 upvotes in the stickied section, especially if there's already a post with discussions that have already started ( which makes knowing about the deport option very handy!)
Outside of that, I feel anything related to GA is good to sticky if it's noteworthy or high effort
Also I obviously don't mean posts like this. If it's a post to address the masses then by all means sticky it straight away
Agreed. PSA posts are always helpful and appreciated. Thanks for all you do our favorite mod pedes!
The reason why mods sticky their own posts is to drive user engagement, when not much is happening, or if we contribute something important where others have missed. Also, C5 does make some good memes 😂😂
If its something no one else has posted then fair enough.
I don't agree with the first part, mod posts get stickied just to seem like somethings going on? Why do they have to be mod posts, just go with whatevers gaining a bit of traction. Also we shouldn't be encouraging excess time online, whether here or anywhere else. Frens are better than that. This is not Facebook, kek!
C5 Memes are great. There are also hundreds I've seen that are also good that dont get stickied. Maybe have "Mod Meme Mondays" or something?
Sometimes, mods make mistakes. I saw Qanaut stickied something that already was stickied. So I unstickied Qanauts post and politely notified him. Its not a big deal. It's was an honest mistake.
I have mentioned, in numerous threads, how to get something stickied.
Yet I also see people in random comments saying "Why havent the mods stickied this yet!?"
I always let people know to tag us with "u/" or report the thread.
Yet again, I don't see these requests when I go through reports. What I do see is more complaining in random comments about things not being stickied. Even when Catsfive had a discussion thread up for stickies, people didn't read the directions and complained in other threads.
You have to understand that this is the fault of the user at that point.
Again, whatever you want to see up here, go report it. Im very gracious with sticky requests.
But then I'm going to make the "less sticky" faction angry if they feel theres too much.
I need you guys to understand this isnt a win-win situation. It's more of a moving target as the current situation changes.
If you want more decodes, make them and report for a sticky. See a good decode? Report for a sticky. Dont know how to decode? Get in the daily Qin3D thread and ask questions. People like Zeit and Sleepydude are always hanging out there, as well as myself and others that will help. Thats what the thread is there for.
I'm trying to show you guys that our mod posts shouldnt be taken as gospel. This community requires your effort as well. Please use the outlets I outlined in my link to get a post noticed. I wanted something like this when I was a user and thats why I made this.
Much appreciated too! I didn't know about the deport/other instructions, so I will use it in the future!
All y'all are doing fantastic, keep it up. There is very little good content that isn't being stickied lately, you guys are on top of it. ✌️😃👍
This reply from u/Chronicmetamorphosis is Choice Truth..
It should be 'stickied' like windy rolls of hot fly paper !
Now Go..... Sticky ! ! !
Wat. Don't call out u/Qanaut. I'm the king of shitty mistakes around here and that's the way it'd going to stay! 👑🐸
Kidding aside, I've noticed that GAW is less cranky about "mod mistakes" (whatever that is). That's because we're finally and UNDENIABLY on offense, and WINNING all over the place. Feels good.
This was largely due to the Big Tech censorship in places like Facebook and Twitter. I think Truth is a good outlet for these.
Yes, absolutely. Some do and I get back rather quickly. Rooftop modmails when she sees something questionable.
I actually do this. The problem is that I dont get a response back most of the time. 😔
Part of this could be that they might not see your DM until at least a few hours after the thread has been up, at which time:
The thread OPs might not want to pull the plug on a thread that is already going, just to re-name the thread title.
Perhaps another solution would be to suggest a name change, and ask their permission to change it, provided Mods have the ability to edit thread titles on this forum.
This would retain any steam that the thread has already gained.
I do this in comments, bht, since I'm in Egypt, I try to leave s comment for why it didn't work, hoping they'll try again. We can't hold everyone's hand. Shit moves fast.
This. And, if I could add, we need people to just STEP THEMSELVES UP and BECOME the posters they want to see more of around the board. Mods can't invent content out of thin air. This is what Ashlanddog did. Mods don't know who this guy is, but we could use a ton more like him.
I meme. I had a million OC post karma on TD Reddit, I have 2M on PW, God knows what I have here, I'm not going out of my lane, here, I know my memes are quality. But the mod team can't just do it all.
It's important that we talk about what a sticky means. It's not saying, "this is canon," or "this is true." It's saying, this is going here, this is something, going somewhere, and, more of this? It's saying, LET'S GOOOOO, MORE OF THIS.
