Could we have a pinned questions thread?

I'm a new player and I have questions, but I don't really think anyone wants me to make a new thread for every dumb question that pops into my head.

A lot of similar subs handle this by having a questions thread pinned at the top of the sub, in order to contain this sort of inanity. Is that something we could do here?

... While I'm here, an example: I just completed a duty officer mission that I've been waiting on with a bridge officer as a reward, and it said I got a purple-quality officer (woohoo!). When the dialogue with the new officer came up and asked me whether I wanted to commission him right away or "Not now." I clicked not now, and he said that he'd be under the Stations tab as a bridge officer candidate.

He isn't there. I have the same three bridge officer candidates that I had before, none of them are purple quality. I tried quitting the game and reloading, figuring maybe it just needed to be refreshed - no change. What's up with that? Where's my boy?

Edit: Well my inane question has been answered, thank you, but I'll leave it as an example.
