Sticky suggestion thread [SUGGESTION]

Now, I am aware that sticky suggestions are auto-denied:

But this is more of a meta-suggestion, it is not a specific sticky suggestion. I alluded to this suggestion in my feedback thread ([Feedback] MeshCollider's Feedback Thread) but I thought that it would be better if I posted a thread for it so that it was more obvious.

My suggestion is that an official 'Sticky Suggestion Thread' should be opened, similar to the Thread Prefixes suggestion thread.

To be clear, I already have the sticky man award and am not suggesting this for personal motives. I just think it is a good idea in general, because good threads are often passed over, especially in less-visited sections. It would be very easy to ignore suggestions in this thread, or only check it occasionally when time was available, but the point is that this would allow an easy place to look at what members think are good threads and quickly make a judgement.

The thread would also serve as a place for suggestions on replacements of old/outdated stickies, and could potentially also be used to suggest tutorials for the Premium Hacking tutorial section (although I am aware that you have thought about closing that section permanently).

There was a thread like this a long time ago (Sticky Policy Explained and New Sticky Requests) but I think it should be brought back.

If you want to auto-deny this suggestion and close the thread, I understand perfectly. But I just think it deserves a bit of thought.
I don't really understand. If you don't want suggestions about what to sticky, why would you create a thread for people to suggest stickies?
That being said, I do agree. Some sections could have some stickies swapped out.

This idea was brought about due to the fact that moderators of specific sections sometimes suggest stickies to Omni and get them approved, and I think that it could be beneficial if this could happen for sections that don't have designated moderators too. But rather than outright allowing it, which would cause a lot more threads and PMs, the suggestions could be restricted to a thread. I think the ban on sticky suggestions was one caused by an overwhelming number of them, but this is just an alternative idea which could provide a way for good threads to be noticed while allowing them to also be kept all in one, manageable place.

As I said, if it's not a good idea, I am happy for the thread to be closed 🤝
