Technically it's make sense it's need to be a good people who need to representing a good content, but I think this forum doesn't that strict for having such kind rule.

Think about this: BitcoinTalk forum has (should have) very high standards. It cares (through its users and administration) a lot for combating spam, for example. It is one of the very few (if not the only) forums which bans plagiarism. And examples can go on and on. These high standards pushed this forum way ahead of others, like CryptocoinTalk, AltcoinTalk etc. Right? If it is so, then these high standards should be enforced wherever possible. Including in not having sticky topics with obsolete materials or created by authors with no credibility. Picture these sticky topics as landmarks of a particular board. Having a topic set as sticky one makes it practically to be pushed forward in front of all other topics, right? It means it is a topic representative for the respective board. Maybe one of most important topics of that board. And, if that topic is written by someone with -5 Trust what impression does it make about the entire board? I think this thought appears naturally, for many users: "Since most important topic of this board is written by a scammer then this board is full of scammers.".

Personally I don't mind if the useful post was written by clown, just like how we give merit because of the good post, not the user.

If the content is relevant and useful, I don't think it matters who wrote it. Since for those who understand the trust system of the forum, you will not look at the OP of this topic, but at the content of it. Perhaps those who visit the topics the most are newbies and many may still not clearly understand how the trust system works, nor will they notice it.

Don't you find ironic at all that a topic which is representative for Legal board (such as List of court cases, complaints, regulatory actions, etc.) to be written by a scammer, also involved in account selling and account farming?! Seriously?

Don't you find ironic at all that a topic which is representative for Scam accusation board to be written by a felon arrested for scams?

what I think should be evaluated were the topics that are fixed. Many were written nearly 10 years ago, and probably already contain information that is out of date or of little current value. Those who created these topics have their merit, but it is necessary to review and write new ones.

I fully agree here and I also mentioned these materials in the previous posts of this topic.

What are the criteria for a topic to be pinned?

I have no idea... I asked theymos ~~once~~ twice, but I did not receive any answer.

I've seen a lot users are having two or more personalities which you can find it easily on Bitcoin discussion or Beginner & Help where the user saying "I hate centralized exchange", but after looking at his other post you will found he's admitting he was using centralized exchange.

Lol! True, there are some having a double personality disorder =)))
