View submission: Renaming "sticky posts" to "announcements"
Why are you taking several steps back? Sticky links are extremely useful when there's no time to create text posts with more information. Also not allowing other user's posts to be stickied only brings more workload onto the moderators having to create each post they want sticky. Over at /r/rocketleague, I sticky tournament posts not made by the mod team as well as useful threads made by the community.

I'm a mod of a subreddit dedicated to a weekly podcast. Before sticky links were a thing we would have stickied discussion threads and also a separate non-stickied video link thread. It totally divided discussion for years.
Then when sticky links came along we were able to unify discussion and the sub became a lot better.
