I usually use the Japanese forum.

Japanese forum users created some sticky topics that only contain links to important Wiki topics (e.g. the basic usage of the forum),
then we closed the sticky topics.

By using Wiki and the link to it,
we can always highlight the latest information and can make it easy to be maintenanced.

However,
because the closed topics look gray, some people may misunderstand it as invalid.
(you can see here https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/18/ )

So, I suggest that sticky topics always look blue even when closed.

No support, they shouldn't pretend a topic is open when it isn't.

Instead stickies should have their own colour, like orange.

Thank you for the information.

That's a good idea! I support that suggestion, another color.
But that suggestion seems to be stagnant.

Is there any reason why the idea doesn't go ahead?
Should I bump the topic?

Bump + Support: I'm also a user of Japanese forum but I think they're not seen as much as others.

And closed stickies should have a dark orange.

Closed (topics and stickies) should have a non-colour-based way of identifying them. Using only colour to communicate something is a terrible idea

Do you have any idea to identify them instead of color?
