AI Thread Summary
Sticky posts are designated for important announcements or frequently discussed topics within a forum, ensuring information is easily accessible. They are typically created by forum staff and can include resources or alerts relevant to specific interests, such as astronomy events. To propose a sticky post, users should send a private message to the forum mentor with their idea. Approval is at the discretion of the forum staff, who evaluate the relevance and utility of the proposed content. Understanding the purpose and approval process for sticky posts can enhance forum engagement and information sharing.
