in reply to @staff's post:

Thanks so much for pinned tags! It is a feature I've been looking forward to. However, I can't actually use them yet, because of the strange "top 15" restriction.

The purpose of a pinned tag, to me, is specifically to allow people to narrow in on a smaller, perhaps rarer subset of posts, so the ones I'd most like to include are not available.

As a particularly notable example, I have posts tagged "straight", "lesbian", and "gay", but at the moment only "straight" breaks the top 15. I think you can imagine why it might not be desirable to include that one not alongside the others...

Ideally there would be no restriction at all. I can easily imagine wanting to pin a tag with a single post, and I can't see why that would be a problem.
