GazetaBitcoin why don't you try to make a new topic on the subject, and then ask to be pinned in place of the old one? It doesn't hurt to try...

I don't think it works just like that...

I believe that should be a decision taken together with moderators, theymos and a majority of users.

If I (or anyone else) would just do it, without consent or approval of forum staff, such move may be considered, in best case scenario, as a double topic. And it would imply questions like "Why haven't you checked first, to see if there is any other topic on this matter"?. Remember, that was the best case scenario. Worst case scenario is to have the new topic reported as plagiarism and actually be considered by mods as plagiarizing the original one, which leads to ban.

For these reasons I am reluctant in doing anything unless a consent is met or until a decision coming from theymos, although seeing a sticky topic written by a scammer in Legal board feels like a kidney stone and when I see the sticky from Scam accusation board also written by a scammer my eyes are bleeding Smiley
