My forum has an active “trading post” category. Users have asked to be able to review their trading interactions, so I [created a pinned topic](https://unicyclist.com/t/trading-user-reviews/294002?u=canapin), as it is a canonical way to achieve this.

I’ve pinned the topic.

From what I remember, pinned topics are automatically unpinned when read, by default (members of my forum won’t tweak this setting from their profile), which is unwanted. I want this topic always available in this category.

1. I don’t want this (on only this one) topic unpinned when read. This is the only case where it makes sense in my forum.

2. For ease of use, the category can be opened from the `#offer` and `#search` tags in the sidebar.

But, of course, in this case, the topic doesn’t appear on those topic lists filtered by tag.

I could add both tags to my topic, but it just doesn’t fit (and my tags are limited to 1 only, even admins can’t bypass this).

Do you have suggestions on how to properly set up a user reviews topic in this context?
