View submission: Renaming "sticky posts" to "announcements"
Quick question. Why? This decision has nothing to do with the /r/news fiasco and it seems that this is rather inspired by an uncomfortable feeling with how /r/the_donald (ab)uses stickies. Stickying a link can be something you'd want to do and I don't see anything wrong with it. It also seems inappropriate that the only real measures you take after what happened with r/news are not repercussions against r/news or their mods but rather against r/the_donald.
Wouldn't a better solution be to just limit the rate with which u can change stickies? Like only 4 different stickied posts a day or something like that. The measure you are taking now seems inconsiderate and inappropriate.
However, thank you for updating the community clearly. I appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.

Not following /r/all or any big non-admin subs, I'm uninitiated. Care to explain the abuses in /r/news and /r/the_donald?
