Cause For Concern.

[Sqad]

I have noticed recently a move that has caused me some concern and it involves the death of ABers.
Some obituaries have been chosen as "stickers" and others have not.
Either ALL ABer deaths are used as "stickers" or none at all.

Thank you.

Maybe the answer is to have an obituary section.

[mjhall]

Please explain - what are ABers and stickers?

[murraymints]

AB members and posts that retain top spot in the category listings

[mccfluff]

its's a sticky post - one that stays at the top of a section, the editorial team can chose to make a post sticky.

[murraymints]

I agree ALL or none...

[rowanwitch]

All is probably best, everyone on here has some who would be sad at their passing and might miss a post that slips down the list

[murraymints]

Sqad I'd make you sticky !! ;o) xx

[Sqad]

Murray.....i would reciprocate.....;-)

[murraymints]

awwww..luvs ya !

[rowanwitch]

Oi no smut on the Editors blog

[kvalidir]

I'm gladdened to know Sqad that you've even managed to make a serious Obit thread smutty- well done, and so early in the morning too :)

I agree I think an obit section relating to members would be a great idea.

[murraymints]

obituary category would be a bit too morbid... I think... not really that many that we learn of anyway..ABers tend to just stop posting and fade away....

Good morning Sqad.

We're sorry to hear that there is concern coming from your quarters. The only thread that has recently been made a 'sticky' without it being requested by an AB member is the "Do You Know What This Is And It's Use ?" thread in How it Works.

If you notice a thread that is not 'sticky' that you feel should be, you must bring this to our attention by either reporting the thread under the report of 'other', and explaining your feelings or by emailing us directly. We don't always see every thread concerning news about members, so if one hasn't been made sticky it's because we simply haven't seen it yet, and not because we think some should be sticky and others shouldn't.

Hope this helps with your concerns, Spare Ed.

hellooo new spareEd x

[Sqad]

Many sections remain unnoticed an investigated due to the paucity of posts and i think that would also apply to an Obituary section and on that basis i would not support an addition.

ALl deaths must be stickies OR NON at all.....a decision for AB staff.

[murraymints]

think whoever posts of a passing has to request a sticky sqad...

[dannyk13]

Sqad, an obituary section need not be confined toABers.It could include all deaths that are of interest.

[Sqad]

Ed (spare) we cross posted.
I did not know that stickies were inserted at the request of ABers, to me, that is news.
I appreciate that you cannot read every post, but ABer deaths soon become so prominent to become unmissable.
My concerns still remain...sorry.

[Sqad]

danny...you make a good point.

[rowanwitch]

Maybe anything concerning ABers who are absent, maybe I should have asked for one to keep you updated about the Big Red one
