A sticky is a thread that stays permanently 'stuck' at the top of the list, as opposed to dropping down and getting lost amongst all the new threads.

It might be worth adding about reporting threads, how to, why.

For example

The report button can be found in the top right corner of each post.

Main reasons for using the report button would include.

• If you see a post with a link in it, and don't know the username, check the post count before clicking the link, if it is 1, don't click the link and report the post.
• If you are insulted or upset by what someone has posted, click the report button and let the moderators deal with it. Do not retaliate, however upset you are.
• If you have posted in the wrong section use the report button to inform the moderators.

The post will be checked by a moderator and if deemed necessary it will be deleted. Not all reported posts will be deleted.

a bump is a reply to a thread that takes it back to the top and a sticky is the same as any other sticky - something that's stuck. So a 'sticky' thread is one that is stuck in place. Like this one, it won't move from the top of the list.
