So as not to sidetrack another thread, I begin this new one with a quote from one of our esteemed moderators:
As for the stickys go it really depends on the subject. We do sometimes get requests for stickys that are not needed and if we do sticky everything members ask sometimes the first page could very well be full with them. Also many times members don't read stickys like they should and ignore them.
Staff also gets complaints at times for how many stickys are in some forums.
As for getting something sticky a member would need to contact a staff member from that forum and the staff will discuss and decide whether it is warranted it or not. No harm in asking. :angel:
Right now, there are handful of threads that address FAQs, especially about Anabaptists and Quakers, what they have in common with Baptists and what distinguishes them from Baptists, as well as what denominations are included in each category. Now that we have a few Brethren who post here regularly, the same questions could be addressed regarding Brethren denominations.
There also could be a list of denominations. For example, I have often said that everything shared by Baptists, Anabaptists, Quakers and Brethren are also shared by the Scandinavian free churches - Covenant and Evangelical Free, but most of them post in Non-Denom because their denominations aren't listed in the forum description.
My reason for starting this thread is to give some thought to what should be included in a sticky thread, before just arbitrarily making one of the old ones sticky.
Here's my proposal:
1) Let's brainstorm here a little bit about what should be in a sticky thread that would answer these FAQs before creating one.
2) Let's compile a "best of" list of posts and threads.
3) After thinking about it in terms of what should be "sticky," we can create a new thread with all the important info. Some may be new, and some may be borrowed from the older threads.
Here are a few of the old threads we could draw from:
