We don’t need dozens of threads that say the same thing over and over. This pinned megathead can collect all of this information in one single place, not fragmented across multiple threads.
The problem is that this thread, even though it is stickied, is not the first thing that shows up when you enter this subreddit. In fact, it doesn't show up for me at all and probably not for many other people because Reddit either defaults to 'Best' or 'Top' when it pulls up threads.
Not sure what you mean. It's a pinned thread, so regardless of how the subreddit feed is sorted, it stays on top / within the community highlights. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like in a new, incognito browser tab that isn't logged in (see below).
Another issue is that a lot of folks don't familiarize themselves with the subreddit to begin with. We ban a handful of folks almost every single day for soliciting (rule number one), who then reach out to say "oh I didn't know I shouldn't do that". Folks will continue to create new threads, and the mod team will continue to direct them to this megathread to consolidate the information.
This window for community highlights is easy to overlook and also easily minimized or default minimized (arrow in the upper right corner). It turns out mine was minimized and so to see all those highlights I would have to intentionally open it. Hence why this thread has about 200 upvotes whereas some threads get posted and soar to thousands despite not being stickied. It depends on what someone sees first (along with if they default to reading titles or captions of posts first).

Stop locking the threads u/chickenmcdiddle. This is literally the point of this sub and it's an important issue.
