It's pinned to make sure everyone reads it. That's all. CaliforniaPeggy Mar 2013 #5
Well, yeah, but why is it an issue? talkingmime Mar 2013 #6

Or people are unaware of them.

Pinning the topic makes sure people see it and then they will know what's allowed and what isn't.

That's why!

And so on.
