@Olivia, I can only speak for myself, but to me it was an issue of making sure that a sticky contains correct information rather than confusing information, not the rotation policy itself. Thanks for making the new change!0

This, definitely. Some of the rotated stickies were helpful. The "super helpful" thread was most certainly not helpful. Thanks for listening to us and for making changes to try and make us all happy. I know it isn't easy!0 -

Hey folks - we are simply trying to honor many requests we have had to rotate sticky topics rather than keeping some in perpetuity. We heard you though and are adding a main sticky in each category; previous stickies are at the top, new ones we will rotate through are lower down on the list. Most of these should be live by now, the rest will be done by end of day.
Thank you!0 -
The new list is great... however... that super helpful thread has been added to it and I really don't think it's a "must read"0

LOL I noticed that too. Oh well. At least it isn't replacing the spot of a more useful thread. We can just continue refuting the bad info in that thread as it comes up. Pick your battles I gues.0 -

And this^^^.
Concur. A sticky should contain useful information. It should not be a popularity contest. Those should remain in the Chit Chat forum.0 -

Obviously, this is an issue that matters, especially to the more knowledgeable members. Which is important, because if MFP experts aren't providing guidance, especially to new members, then it falls on the experienced members to help guide through the pages upon pages of nonsense that others suggest. The only reason I stuck around this site was because of the wonderful information and discussion that is included in threads like the ones linked, especially when I, like so many others, was completely clueless when I started.
The more cynical part of me thinks that it may be a ploy for people to buy the premium service. After all, if you can't seem to stop failing and none of the free information works, why not try the service with special nutrition advice and blog posts?
I'm pretty sure you're not being cynical. This site's slowly falling apart with stuff they're not fixing while pushing the new paid service.0 -

I'm thinking it was a "haha" from the powers at be because @usmcmp kept requesting it in the nominations thread before it was nuked.0 -
Well, it's definitely better now than before.0

haha I did suggest it. I figured they were making ridiculous unhelpful threads a sticky, so I was going to make sure the worst ones got attention.0 -

It was closed for cleaning. It will be back up later when the mods are through with it.

They hid it to clean it up. It will be back and hopefully I can get back to helping people find a way to make it work well for their situation.0 -
