Why do some posts on this board not return the thread to the top?

For an example- I responded in this thread....

LINK

and it didn't return to top. This is only 1 example among a few others I have noticed.

Anchored so it quietly goes away.

Thanks for the responses.

I've been on sports board going on 20 years, and I don't think I've ever been on one that worked like that. It's no big deal. Just different.

It means it's a shitty thread, but not such an atrocity that it's needs to be delete.

Eta: not sure why that thread was anchored. It seems like a legit football question.

Chicken and my wife might get it on well if he didn't choke her.

It was anchored for having a vague thread title ("Jalen Hurts") that doesn't let users know what the thread is about.

Mods are cracking down on that lately.

For real? That's wild. I saw "Jalen Hurts" and I figured...well...I figured it was about the Alabama qb of the same name.

You should go to the help board and read the thread stickied at the top about improving thread titles. The thread you linked was most likely anchored because of its vague title.

Not quite that, but some of the trash talk would make this forum look like sesame street.

darn it. In review, I see I screwed it up anyway. It shoulda been my wife choking chicken, or something like that. There was a great joke there, I just couldn't quite get it together. I hate when that happens.

Have you ever participated on a sports board operated by Cajuns?

I rest my case Boudreaux.

ehh. Can't say that I have. I like the board anyhow. It's kind of like Rivals national board used to be before so many posters and mods got too sensitive.

So did this board and the other team boards branch out from a LSU site? Tigerdroppings?

I'm just saying chicken wants more specific thread titles. There was a sticky thread a while back explaining they were going to start anchoring threads with really short, vague thread titles.

It's basically a version of click bait to just have "Jalen Hurts" and have to click the thread to find out "what about Jalen Hurts?".
