I don't know what you're seeing, but the fundraiser item has had responses in the last 24 hours. We have rules because rules are the fairest way to decide things. Without rules all you have is politics. On Monday, December 9, 2019 at 5:00:32 PM UTC-8, TonyM wrote: Mark, > > You may have not

Mark, As I have said previously "guidelines not rules". 2-3 days may be reasonable but I think the fund raiser post deserves longer. The "Exception [tests] the rule". Perhaps it would be easier to try [a guideline] and limit pins to a maximum of 5 or less, that is manage the real estate you

There's a pinned item that has had no activity for 3 days. Like Eric pointed out, there really is no need for pinning items of general interest. They will rise to the top as interest is generated. But definitely, when no one has responded to a thread after 3 days, it should be unpinned.

Hi Tony! You are totally right! restricting people without explaining them and educating in advance never come to a better result! Also during the period members were allowed to pin, I noted few items wrongly pinned! These could be solved by ADMINS first by sending a short explanation

Bit of a storm in a tea cup I had never pinned anything before. Found I could and assumed it was private. Two other pins occurred then I found out it was public and started a pin exit plan. As far as I can see this has being the extent of pins in the last year or more so, with respect, I

Ciao tutti I'm not adverse to someone pinning an announcement for a few days. Like a plugin release. I thought Mohammad handled his pins fine. It's the problem of it being overused just because you can pin, which would quickly prevent it being useful by overwhelm. There could be be case for a
