Mason,

Why does a sticky that contains links to several of the better discussions violate this rule? As you say, "we prefer to let the discussion lead our posters to what is top notch versus what is questionable." So, instead of logging in every day to see another, "Which PLO books is best?" thread, why can't we say "see sticky at top for links to discussion on the topic"? You're neither advocating a particular book nor bashing an author, instead simply pointing someone to a thread where the topic has or (is currently) been discussed.

If you feel like parsing the various threads from the past would be too time-consuming, how about as one poster suggested, something like the "Official <insert game> discussion thread"? Anything, any book goes.

I've just never been clear on how this would be bad for the forum.

Edit: looks like fraac said the same only a little less long-winded.
