So, I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, but personally I find all of the threads about past staff members and the huge threads where they say that they appreciate all the staff members kind of annoying at this point. I know by this point, 80% of people will have already given the thread a negative rating, because they can't help but disagree with something that isn't positive. Anyways, at first I didn't have a problem with it.
I'm not against appreciating staff for all that they've done, and I thought the first thread was pretty cool.
But then they started to pop up, because they noticed that it gained a lot of attention. At that point, they were created every other day, but the reasons were just to make something quick up. Such as "Oh you seem nice even though I've literally never spoken to you once!" It's always the same people, too. It's nice, but it gets tiring when it floods the forums. Just post it on their profiles at that point, since you've already said it three times in the past week. Even now, the most recent threads in general were all about staff and they've all been said before.
And then the threads stating previous staff members. There should really be a pinned thread/mega thread for this because they come up just as often, if not more often than staff appreciation threads. First of all, a lot of the people are wrong about the reasons as to why they aren't staff anymore, their previous ranks, etc. How is this obvious? Since there's always an older member going in there to correct them. Not to mention, they're always incomplete. If it's such a popular topic, why isn't there just a pinned thread that states all the previous staff members.
Maybe my suggestion isn't clear here, but there should be one or two sticky threads that take care of the staff topics that I mentioned. They're flooding the forums, and they come up way too often. No, I'm not saying stop appreciating and acknowledging staff members. What I am saying is that there should be something to prevent the very obvious point/post farming that's happening because of it.
