Pinned threads

[charmander 692]

This is a question to mods and possibly to site admin. Who decides which threads are worth pinning?

Pinned threads should be like like FAQs but some are very outdated, some are not very relevant to the context. That's why I feel like a lot of VJers are trying to reinvent the wheel, same or very similar questions are asked every other day. How can we make recommendations to what to pin or unpin under a particular forum?

For instance, I don't think another day goes by without someone asking about changing address, sufficiency of their evidence list, travel during pending petitions, etc. It may not be a bad idea to pin these type of questions.

The moderators decide as a group, based on information that is solid and general, and asked a lot. We also try to limit the number of pinned threads per forum, as it can interfer with the ease of reading on the mobile version of the site especially. I agree several pinned threads may be outdated at the beginning, but the newer stuff further down the thread is relevant still. That being said, if you think a thread is no longer relevant/ outdated, report it like you would a TOS violation, and explain why, and we can look into it.
