Okay, so it's a well known problem, I think, that many users don't really read the stickies. I have a solution. I think that, just like Scratch tracks which topics you've read, that Scratch should also track whether you've recently (or at all) read the stickies. If you haven't, I think that when the new topic button is pressed, that this image (or something similar) should come up.

Lol that's what I was originally gonna name it but it sounded too silly.
Edit, changed it, why not?

1+ it'll stop people from suggesting thing that have been already suggested and denied.

HUGE SUPPORT! Read the stickies before posting anything!

Support! Yes, that's how much I support. I put it in slightly larger letters.

YES! YES! YES!

Good idea. YOU SHALL READ THE STICKY NOW!

Support.
This would significantly reduce the number of misguided posts that take up space and time, distracting people from the real suggestions that should be considered.

I support this! Would save me alot of work from clicking that button that gets a moderator's attention and would definitely save the Scratch Team a lot of work from moderating the forums!

Support! I think someone suggested this before, but who cares!!! We need this to be implemented asap.

It should be timed, though.. That way people don't just go clicking on them. Maybe about five minutes.

Support!

Support. Very good idea.

Support but I don't like the idea of “recently.” I say that if you have opened the link ever it will never come again.

But then people might forget.

Maybe if they aren't active for a few months, it'll ask you to read it again, and only then.

Once you know that you're supposed to read the stickies, you'll open them up again before making a new topic after you've forgotten. I do it all of the time to double check my posts.

Maybe if you are reported on the forum, you'll have to read them again?

So every time you go into the forums, you have to read the sticky?

EDIT: Oh, I got it now, Support!

Yay Support

On the other side note: how did you host it on cdn2.scratch.mit.edu
