Monthly stickies in the mod section

[cacra]

I cant speak to much on other subforums, but in the eu3 mod subsection there is a surprising amount of dead mods still stickied. What i think is even more suprising is there is still loads of active and up to date mods being made. I would like to see the mods remove inactive mods and replace them with more active ones.

Feel free to PM a Moderator of that forum with your list of suggested user mods to sticky.

It seems to be the general theme that the mods are to busy. Is it hard to change a sticky?

 

[Castellon]

It is not the software function that is difficult or time consuming.
Rather it is the decision behind taking the action in the first place.
There are a lot of factors to consider when making a decision like that.


Example:
There are a limited number of stickys you can have in a forum before it becomes untenable with sticky overload.
So it is not as simple as just granting the request of everyone that wants a sticky thread, It usually means that one or more must be removed, and if that thread is granted a sticky what similar threads would then also want it and could we accommodate them, and how do they stack up to the existing ones ...
So Reviewing all the current Sticky threads, and all the potential new ones, is a rather time consuming process, and a number of factors must be weighed.

Hopefully that helps to shed some light on what is involved and why it may take more time than everyone would like.

It...

sure, and i know your mods are busy but it just annoys me when some subforums havent had a post in months while some threads are hundreds of pages long. Anyway I made a post with some suggestions.

The sections you referred to were added quite a long time ago, as a result of a competition. Time passed and eventually the need to restructure the forum became apparent, as interest dwindled in several mods. I am to blame for the delay in renovating EU's mod forum. I described the difficulties and what is to be done in this thread — the bottom line is that changes will be soon made.

Would be great if this could also be done on the AoD User Mod subforum. Seems like all the stickies are dead mods and all the active mods are not stickied

You need to PM one of the Mods of that forum to suggest such a cleanup.
