1. A thread isn't some fanboy altar designed by which to honor only the greatest players/performers. (See: Delneri, Boumsong, Motta, etc., etc.) I can't believe how many moronic posters here think that just because a player has his own thread, that somehow conveys some reputation or regard for his greatness. 
2. Making said thread "sticky" is neither extra love juice poured over said honor. It's a way of slapping posters in the face more before they start yet another thread on the same dude.
Forum threads aren't a frigging award show. We have stuff to talk about, and creating threads -- and making them sticky -- have everything to do with preventing people from creating duplicate threads to discuss the same people and issues in multiple places at once.
End of story.

If people here really must have some means of creating a Hall of Fame and bestowing honor and recognition on players and coaches, please let it not be through something as idiotic as whether a thread exists for them or not -- or whether or not it is marked "sticky". Threads and stickiness are forum software tools for managing member conversations -- NOT for making fanboy altars. That's as retarded as UEFA coming up with club coefficients based on the number of lockers in the club's home locker room.
If you want fanboy altars, why don't we just create a dedicated Hall of Fame section and everyone can jizz on it to their heart's content.

That's kind of a crap answer, because the majority don't have to merge posts and threads when posters create duplicate threads to discuss Grosso's fuck ups in the past match and there are six parallel, simultaneous threads to talk about it.
Let me repeat: threads and stickiness are for managing conversations regardless of what those conversations are about. That's it. There are tons of dedicated threads, sometimes with stickiness, that have nothing to do with players, for example. Thus they have nothing to do with a reflection of a player's performance or value or whatnot. That last bit is some psycho b.s. some posters are hoisting upon them.
The same logic would be like saying Halifax, Nova Scotia gets a disproportionate amount of recognition versus the greatness of New York City or Boston because so many transatlantic cables run through there. Thus we should stop making transatlantic cables go through Halifax.

What is wrong with the system? Im the first to riot if a system isn't working, but this isn't the case.
Based on how the players are performing, they are stickied or unstickied as a means of expressing either satisfaction or the opposite. I'd rather keep the system like this, and have a poll when the general atmosphere is that a player no longer deserves to be stickied. When a player starts underperforming, create a poll to unsticky him - whatever the majority votes to be done.

No. They are stickied or unstickied regardless of performance. Like any other thread on the site -- it could be about earthquakes in Japan or demonstrations in Egypt -- they are stickied or unstickied based on whether they are active, relevant topics or not to help prevent orphan threads from popping up.
