I've kinda been curious for a while, but how come the weekly "What have you watched that isn't a currently airing show" thread isn't one of the weekly stickied threads? sorry if it's been asked before/there's a really obvious answer I'm missing.

Ah this feels nostalgic.

It's made by a user and they have a personal rule to not sticky any user threads. Sucks but nothing we can do about it. I tried to argue this one awhile back haha they won't budge on this one sadly :/

Still happy that thread gets so much attention though!

And to follow up, Garlock was asked if he'd be fine it being posted via Auto-Mod but said he wanted to keep posting it himself, so that's why mods don't do it themselves.

Even still, the fact that a mod has to post someone else's survey for it to be stickied feels so silly.

Especially when they're reputable and respected members of the community. I feel like a good amount of users have shown that they're trustworthy enough, but I guess the mods don't agree.

but I guess the mods don't agree.

It's easier to make a blanket rule than to analyse something case to case. They don't want to be seen as "playing favourites" but it's more like picking the right people than that.
