I’d like to suggest a default duration for setting a post pinned.

In my case, 99% of the times I pin a topic I set it to forever. I think this is the case for most forums.

It would be nice to have it set to forever as a default, it saves a few clicks and scrolling to the bottom and helps in terms of convenience when organizing a board.

This would be nice since 99% of the time I pin a topic for ever but how often do you pin topics to the point of making this change worth it
