Because someone with sufficient authority for that forum made it sticky. Bearing in mind that this is something that is a particular favourite in that forum, it makes sense for it to be sticky.

Either way, hope you have a wonderful day

Well, happy birthday then!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Thanks Sascha. I've been debating about this one - there was a one that I was reading that started off a bit poor but goes on to be good but I'm not sure I can recommend it - the author invents two new "patterns" which aren't really patterns, but the rest of the book is really good. So I keep spinning around on this particular one.

Thanks my friend. Question is, who do you think is going to win the series?

India, South Africa and Australia are the top 3 when it comes to T20.
Australia have a dubious T20 record, but they still are a top contender.

Little late, but what the hell. Happy Birthday Mr. O'Hanlon.
May be he wouldn't have realized this is one day late due to crazy parties he would have had.

How can you tell it's sticky? It is just the latest post on the forum.
|
|
|
|
|
It is above Chris' sticky Welcome post and has the sticky pinhead icon.
|
|
|
|
|
It's amazing what one does not see sometimes. 
|
|
|
|
|
It also has the pin icon at the side.

The OP is a mod on that forum. He has the ability to mark a post as a sticky post.

I don't like being talked about as OP, but yeah, its a 'sticky' thread and cricket is popular in that forum.
The world cup will go on for sometime, but I remove the 'sticky' after the 'real' league phase starts.

You and the others in GIT need to decide whether you Moderate that forum or whether you Run that forum.
Moderation means you work to enforce the tone of the forum, keep it polite, and keep it on track. What constitutes acceptable posts is decided by the community: you merely enforce their wishes.
Running the forum means you decide what's in and what's out, whether one topic is more important than another, and who gets to do what.
I set up GIT for the community. If the community is happy for you to run the forum then I'm happy to accept that. If, however, the community expects you only to moderate the forum then whether a post is sticky or not (among other things) needs to be decided by consensus.
cheers

Don't panic. It will be gone in a few days (unless a CP admin asks me to remove it earlier).

Nope, I am not panicking nor bothered by that post, was just curious since it appeared as sticky. I didn't know if one could do that here on CP. Hence I marked this thread as a question.
I ain't got no signature.

Had a message in there that wasn't spam - it was however serious abuse. Yes, yes: Mr "Goat's rectum" is posting his filth randomly again.
Trouble is that isn't spam - it's abuse and so I let it through and then reported it in S&A.
Would it be possible to have an "abuse" flag in the moderation queue that discards the message without feeding it to the spam filter to learn from? Or do we want it to pick up on that kind of phrase?
