[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8135939, member: 24754"]It's less about the pinned post itself being annoying, and more about the constant reminders that pursuing interesting conversations and tangents can result in paying a price of some kind. Fully understanding why the topics of discussion need to be so heavily regulated, it still sucks that we have to be on pins and needles when deciding what and how to respond to member statements, and how our posts will be perceived by others (mods in particular). We really lose something when conversation is stifled for the purpose of not offending the person in the room with the most brittle sensibilities. The spectrum ranges from leaving people to fend for themselves on one end, and catering to the needs of the weak-minded on the other. Unfortunately, the rules as enforced in these forums tend a bit too far toward the latter than would be ideal. It is this aspect that is annoying, the pinned post is just symbolic of the issue.[/QUOTE]
