    Default What determines a thread getting stickied

    periodically I will sticky threads. Here is the logic to follow if you want a thread stickied in current events:

    1) Thread title is accurate and not trolly
    2) The first post is not trolly
    - sticks to the objective material facts
    - not needlessly incendiary
    - bonus points for neutral-ish source
    3) No thread bans
    4) Likely THE biggest story of the day

    How many of your own sticky threads have met these requirements?
