But clearly we need something a bit more… obvious… for new users, as this is a recurring user-created design element on multiple Discourse sites. We also noted in a random usability test that a new arriving user indeed never found or read the pinned topic, at all.

The article is interesting, thank you. But in fact, not particularly new in terms of information. Many community administrators may have themselves come to the fact that if you show important items, focus on them, the violations will be less.
