I cannot submit an editorial.

Homepage submissions can be basically anything, correct?

The ability to sticky a thread should so NOT be something someone can be able to buy. Any thread that needs or deserves to stay on top is usually stickied by a mod or admin anyway. Even if its not, its probably being revived every once in a while, like the picture thread.

If we keep the option to purchase the stickying of a thread, we'll only end up with some inane thread stuck up top of the forum. Hopefully some admin or mod would unsticky it, but it would still be a waste of the member's doubloons, and a couple of people's time. It would just be better to remove it...

IMO.

Well, I think when the first sticky thread or 2 happens, there will obviously be a lookover by a mod/admin to make sure its not something "stupid" that should be stickied. If it is, I think it should be unstickied and either A) Given a chance to choose another thread to sticky or B) Only stickied for say 2 weeks or a month

But what's the point? What thread could possibly deserve a sticky that wouldn't already be stickied? There are going to be very very few threads that wouldn't be deemed inappropiate for stickying by a mod or admin. I think it would just be easier and more beneficial to get rid of the option rather than to spend time regulating it or coming up with a bunch of rules for it if someone ever chose to buy it.
