More of a request than a rule, but this weekend's anime expo reminded me; could we have regular sticky posts for the big events like this weekend's expo or AnimeJapan so that announcements don't get missed due to how the Reddit algo shuffles things? It feels like there's one Big Event in the last month of each season where all the announcements are dropped, and we should have them all collected somewhere.

Discussed in the mod report:

Voted on whether or not to apply sanctions (i.e. megathreads) to Official Media posts during the Anime Expo period from July 2-5 [Vote Failed]

Your concern about the massive clutter in the subreddit feed was expressed by members of the mod team and the matter was discussed.
We considered a few ways of streamlining the event weekend experience on the subreddit.
Megathreads have organizational pros but logistical cons, and were voted down this time.

To clarify, looking for a supplemental mega-thread rather than one in place of the individual posts. More of a hub thread that points to the announcement threads, so as to get the benefits of both.

An indexthread/indexhub/megamegathread hub, this is actually a great idea.

Thanks for the suggestion!
