Can you please re-pin the covid 19 thread? Or is there a good reason not to have it pinned that I missed? Thanks, it’s been a very informative thread and is a lot easier to come back and find knowing it’s pinned.

Why not pin it though? Doesn't cost anything and it was working fine before.
This is a football site

you morons. Don clutter up pinned threads with non football stuff.
Well, I am in the minority here

but, I am glad to not even see the thread. You can find news about it EVERYWHERE..I just want football adn NON Virus news here. This is my sanctuary. Just me personally.
The Covid thread was pinned for two weeks  
gidiefor : Mod : 4/3/2020 12:21 pm : link
and it has a loyal and devoted following of two or three dozen posters and ancillary viewers. It has not left the front page for a moment since it was unpinned and still has active participation.

There are many posters that do not want the virus issues constantly in their face, so as a compromise we unpinned it so it was not one of the first things you have to look at when you are on the football page.

Not sure why this is a problem - it's importance has kept it up or near the top, and we have not removed it.

but I can't find the thread, I wish it was left pinned.

I actually find it more in your face shuffling all over the forum vs. pinned at the top where it can easily be ignored.

people actually complained about it being "in their face"? Hope those people are managing ok in the big bad real world.

Whatever, atleast I got an answer.

Why didn't you just answer this instead of deleting the other thread. You could have saved yourself several of these threads...
I really think this is making a mountain out of a mole hill  
gidiefor : Mod : 4/3/2020 1:51 pm : link
and that there is nothing to see here.

We've been deleting every thread that is marked Covid , virus or covid 19 or that is virus related.

This +100000000%, the thinking on this site can be soooo backwards at times. Having to delete every Covid thread as opposed to just leaving the original one pinned seems like loads of fun.

You do realize that you can filter out all NFT threads if you desired to. That's actually the entire point of having a strict NFT policy when starting threads. It's for those who want to just exclusively enjoy the football aspect of the forum and don't wish be exposed to threads on any other topic. That's why it has never bother me when they enforce the policy even though at first glance it may seem a little over the top. It's just basic respect for those fans like yourself that don't want to have to weed through a lot of other topics looking for football threads which are being pushed off the first page. I don't mind the NFT's but I certainly get why some do.

Just filter for football threads only and enjoy your "sanctuary" (grin)

And for some of us
