Proposal:
I would like to suggest a separate area, in between the current Message Overview and Create Message areas, that would work for important Guild Messages. I would also like to suggest said messages could be made Read Only.
Have you checked for similar ideas?:
Yes. There is a proposal to make group messages sticky, but it doesn't directly correlate with guild messages.
Reason:
In guilds with very active swap threads, often threads that should always be accessible, like the guild rules, or an explanation of how a particular thread works (trust me, some threads require serious explaining), end up getting lost in the shuffle.
Details:
One could argue that that is what the guild forum is for, but the guild forum isn't accessible on mobile and, being a 99% mobile player, I've lost count of the times something had to be bumped or PMd to me in a new guild because I couldn't read it. Bumping often enough also has the disadvantage of making the body of the message disappear in an endless scroll up, so I would suggest that leaders be given the freedom to mark threads as read only, as that would prevent the chatter from having the same negative effect as bumping.
Balance:
Zero impact, apart from quality of life improvements.
