[SOLVED] One question (I am confused)

moisespedro · 09-26-2014, 10:13 PM

Why is this thread sticky and not this one? (The latter contains pretty much everything about the bash issue + many other security issues).

I also think sticking a thread for one security issue is overkill

I noticed the same. Agree

Good point. Very good point.

This thread is more interesting. The implication is endless. More info

I felt the same. It is kind of ridiculous.

That simply is because no member of this forum petitioned it to be stickied.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
Now you know how the mechanism works I suggest you and all the aye-sayers next time make good use of it instead.

Did anyone ask for the bash thread to be sticked? And can't any mod take the decision for himself?

Hello.

Merging the two threads was a mistake. It now interleaves two different conversation flows which makes things difficult to
follow.

Here are two examples of others who are finding it as confusing as I do: example #1 & example #2.

I see no benefit - can this be undone?

Thanks.

They could have let both threads separated but Mancha's one sticked.
