First I can't stop laughing at the Huge Member - to good.It was either that or Large Member. Now that I've thought about it maybe Massive Member would be even better. Alliteration always wins.
I'm not surprised it's been thought of, you tend to find a lot of the opportunities for improvement.

If the feature was to be implemented, It should also be limited to some specific boards as I see a situation were some users might misuse the feature as advert opportunities (i.e selling the pinned message spot to advertisers) I do observe same issue with platforms like Facebook and telegram with this feature.
I suppose that could happen, but I would find that not many people would have a thread that others deemed worthy of being advertised in, but if they do then maybe just allow it? Theymos already allows users to advertise in threads of importance so this would likely be a good barometer of that without him having to get involved on deciding what is and isn't notable. Alternatively, adverts could just be reported and staff remove them just like we do with off topic posts or ads. Users who repeatedly abuse the position could even be banned from doing so.
