There are too many pinned threads in the Announcements forum. You have to scroll down just to see unpinned threads.
'Twould seem at least the threads Zero Tolerance Policy on Violent Rhetoric (Permanent) and Enhanced Expiration Dates for Major Violations threads could (and should) be incorporated into the larger Forum Rules post and then removed from pinned announcements. (If nothing else, all rules-related material should be accessible from a single link and members shouldn't have to hunt for extra stuff on their own.) The xenForo Instructional Video, Follow Debate Politics on Twitter and FaceBook!, and History of Debate Forum debatepolitics.com can be added to the FAQ thread, as could the The DP Staff thread (or a new tab at the top labeled "Staff List," or a new subgroup and a modified tab label of "Members and Staff").
I didn't mention the character counter thread because I assume it's time-pinned and will fall off in short order, as there's no conceivable reason to pin it in perpetuity. It also could be added to the FAQ thread.
That's 6-7 out of the eight pinned announcement threads that can be moved and better-placed elsewhere. As my wife would say, "it's clutter; get rid of it!"
