What about the other way around? OP can PM sub owners/mods and ask them to sticky a comment.
It adds a step having to write a PM, it would be easier just to have a button. How about 4 options the sub owner can set on their sub:
- OP cannot sticky.
- OP can click a button to send a request notification to mods, and mods approve it with one click to sticky the comment.
- OP can click a button to sticky, and a notification is sent to mods, who can then decide to ignore it or unsticky with one click.
- OP can click a button to sticky, and no notification is sent to mods.
That's actually a good idea, but it could be abused by trolls, @boobs and I will discuss about it.
The comment sticky is a new feature and it could evolve in the future if enough mods from active subs are requesting it.
Mods/owners could block sticky requests/privileges for specific users.
