View submission: Renaming "sticky posts" to "announcements"
Apologies but this arrangement doesn't work well at all for /r/GlobalOffensive and I'm sure many other subs.
Our sticky posts are ones scheduled by bots, and they are not necessarily announcements at all. I'd say in a month we make 1 or 2 announcement threads. The rest of the posts are scheduled stickies for discussions, channeling posts and comments for big events, and pro scene match/LAN schedule/discussion threads. Also if a post is an announcement, many subs have an "Announcement" flair to tag it.
Additionally, the author of the post must be a moderator at the time of the announcement.
80% of the times these threads are made by the users who do not have moderation permissions. This cripples the structure of how we manage our Esports scene currently. And adding another arrangement to fit your changes would take some amount of effort and time in addition to giving some users/common accounts moderator permissions which we would like to avoid at all costs.
I hope you understand our problems and revert back these changes as they hurt us way more than help us in any case.
Edit: Thanks a lot for the second edit, reverting back non-mod posts change was prompt and quick and is appreciated!
There's nothing here!
