Oh jeeze, when was this sticked? A while ago, thread 9 got stickied
(https://web.archive.org/web/20150327101316/https://7chan.org/fur/res/19301.html#19625).
It ended up not being a great idea, because the thread kind of stagnated
(https://web.archive.org/web/20150327101316/https://7chan.org/fur/res/19301.html#20425)
and the mods de-stickied it less than six months later
(https://web.archive.org/web/20150327101316/https://7chan.org/fur/res/19301.html#20744).
I don't object to having the TF thread stickied, but is there a way we can avoid the problems of last time?

At the beginning of thread 10, mods came in a laid down the law (this was just after thread 9 became a shitshow and got de-stickied, remember). They asked us to report people breaking the rules
(https://web.archive.org/web/20160415035554/http://7chan.org/fur/res/20773.html#20774).
I and several others, took this to mean the thread rules I introduced in thread 6 (which imo should be covered by the pre-existent board rules, but I'll get there in a minute). People were reported, mods came through and banned 'em, and all was well.
Cut to thread 11, and a mod made a post telling us not to report for thread rule violations, and threatened the reporters with bans
(https://web.archive.org/web/20160513083244/http://7chan.org/fur/res/21210.html#21557).
I can only speak for myself, but I always felt the board rules covered the thread rules (e.g. we asked for content along with requests, the board rules say requests must be accompanied by 3 images). After that post, I questioned my interpretation of the board rules, and rather than make waves with the mods, just stopped reporting people. I think others had a similar response. People stopped getting banned as frequently, and the threads went back to being 50% people begging. I for one tried to take the latter mod's advice and call people out, but those people just don't care. I don't know what else to do.
I sympathize with the mods, I really do. They volunteer their time to do this, and get basically no thanks. I want to help them clean up the shit and I really REALLY want to make these threads a better place. It's just hard when they ask us to help them, then threaten to ban us for trying to help.
(PS - sorry for the long Internet Archive links and longer post; I wanted to provide some historical context)
