Better idea, I have no idea how to implement it or if it'd be possible, but maaybe one could make it so that you cannot post in a board until you read the "Read this first" stickies.
Noob A Joins the forum and heads straight for the Nerf/Buff board, because he thinks he's sooo right in believing that dim shield needs a nerf. After all, it made him lose, and losing is impossible because he's the besterest! Therefore, it must be unfair and broken.
So Noob A goes to post a topic, only to get a pop-up: "You cannot start a new thread in this board until you read all threads titled "Read this first!"
"Huh? Oh...There's a sticky up there, didn't notice. Let's read it."
Noob A proceeds to read the rules of the Nerf/Buff section. He learns that he should only start topics for cards that don't already have a thread, and realizes there are many threads already for dim shield. Opening the longest and oldest one, he reads through many people's arguments and decides that maybe he's wrong. He see's many people discussing balancing and game theory and learns a great deal of what makes a card broken. Good for Noob A!
Several days later, Noob A decides that Shard of Focus is broken, because it is. For some reason we live in a parallel universe wherein no one else thinks so, and thus no one else has ever made a thread for SoFo. So he starts his own. Thanks to his reading of the sticky and his previous explorations of the board, he knows how to make a professional, clean, easy to read thread that clearly illustrates his ideas and get's his points across. He also now knows what makes a card balanced/unbalanced. He writes a brilliant, beautifully written thread that covers all arguments. Everyone realizes that SoFo is broken, breaks into Zanz house, and hold him at gunpoint until he nerfs the Bejebuz out of SoFo, bringing forth a golden age of Elements. Attaboy, Noob A!
