Remove gravedig warning from sticky topics

That warning above the posting box may unnecessarily intimidate users from posting on a sticky topic. They should be treated like active topics since they're always at the top of the forum anyway.

Imo there shouldn't be a gravedig warning at all as long as the post is relevant, for any thread. I don't know why it exists in the first place.

I'm pretty sure that's how it already works.

Saying "nice lol" is bad.
Saying "I was thinking of posting this idea, but I found this topic so I'm going to gravedig it to see what people think" is better.

Context is key.

I see azure's point. Saying "nice lol" is spam also in active topics...

I'd rather see gravedigging than reposting.

I agree but not just for stickied topics. Don't give a gravedig warning for anything that was already on the front page of a subforum. I doubt anyone is going to check the dates if the post is still there.

(Lowkey only saying this because I got a warning for it once.)

Oh. The rules page may need updating then, as it currently states to avoid gravedigging.
