Ok TTG, I have come to rant about the Sticky's and how easily you guys think they are to get!
Ok so lets start off by saying stickys are damn hard to get, you have to put loads of detail into them, maybe download links, tutorials depends on what it is.
Here is a example -
Topic Name: ''NEW GLITCH!! OMG!!'' - For starters a fail of a topic name, and not needed, you may be exited that you found out a glitch, but calm down a little, you will be thanked after.
Say we clicked on the above topic called ''NEW GLITCH!! OMG!!'' And then we immediatlly see 2 sentences miss-spelt badly, and no time or effort into it, there is no way that it is going to be a sticky!
Then after we read it, we look up and see a poll saying ''Sticky? Yes? or No?''
Yet again, there is NO WAY you are going to get a sticky for asking, never ask for a sticky. Remember the saying I want never gets!
I have already seen a lot of posts like this today and I have been on-line for 30 minutes, its getting beyond pathetic, I'm not meaning to sound bad or be a party pooper but it needs to stop, and I'm sure a lot of people will agree!
A brilliant example of a sticky is Unlucky_7's Mw2 Lobby post which can be found here -
Forums/t=58687/closed-mod-menu-in...mbies.html
That is a brilliant example and that is what Staff expect for a sticky!
And here is a bad example, that i have just found, this can be found here -
Forums/viewtopic/t=1208193.html
If you look he even spelt the title wrong, didn't spell check either.
Don't worry, I asked the guy if I could use him as an example!
Here is another example that can be found here -
Forums/t=1207199/no-recoil-glitch...video.html
That topic above is what we do not want to be seeing!
Thanks for reading guys, comment below what you think..
Rant over.

Thankyou for explaining this to the users who didn't know. You should make a tutorial on how to make a professional post and how to use spell check for the users who don't know. Hopefully this will minimize the amount of garbage posts. 8)

Yeah i see where your coming from. And i think its not a good idea to put things like a poll saying. 'should it be sticky?' or stuff like that.

Agreed. Stickies arent easy. At my high point I had 6 stickies, and an announcement, now I am down to 3 becuase of how difficult it is to maintain and keep them updated and with patches in games and such. Stickies arent even close to easy to get, you have to work hard and keep them going. Nice topic, agreed.
