But why do they need to be “protected”? If the author’s wanted troll protection couldn’t they have posted those threads in Ayn Rands?

You know, to be honest, I didn’t even think about ‘troll protection’. The whole thing about ‘don’t troll stickied threads’ kind of went right past me for a while, mainly because I thought it only referred to the rules threads. And of course, it used to be that only the rules threads or important notices were stickied.

Hence my confusion.

I just went through and looked at a lot of the threads that are stickied, and to be honest, some of them really don’t need to be. (Especially in the Trollhole this morning)

We’ll add that to the list of items to discuss.
