Sticky Posts in Channels (not pins)
The ability to sticky a post so it hovers at the top of the channel for a period of time say 24 hours (sort of like on reddit).
The reasoning for this is for this is certain events, especially live ones, certain channels are overtaken with conversations relating to that event.
Example: during the Video Game Awards we were talking about the Video Game Awards pretty much exclusively in one channel that is fairly vague.
"Then why dont you just make a channel for that event". Because I want to keep the messages and I also dont want a new channel every time an event happens that essentially becomes dead afterward.

This would be a great additional feature!

I second this, but even for just general temporary notifications.
Fair enough to have an announcements channel, but occasionally something will crop up temporarily that you just want to say "Look, here's a thing you need to know for longer than the chat history will keep it prominent, but not long enough to put it into a dedicated channel"
I'd even say there should be similar options to the muting, including until further notice.People aren't necessarily going to click and check the pins. It's extra cognitive effort. From what I can tell, mostly pins are used as a bookmark to more easily find something later, than as a 'Please look at this message' kind of thing.
Sticky Posts on forums, sticky messages and the whole concept of "Keep this visible so people click it, it's important" would be a fantastic addition. You could even allow people to click it to jump to the context, so that people could post short messages that don't fill in the chat history, and then elaborate in context, and just sticky the short one.

Not only temporarily! I want the first post of several channels, usually a summarized description, to be visible 24/7

Bump! This would be awesome. However, it would NEED to allow the reactions to remain with the message. Then we can use it for polls and things also.
