KB drift-audit reconciliation 2026-06-14: corrected to match dev (report deliverables). Admin: Sponsored Threads
Members can sponsor a thread to pin it to the top of its forum for a set time. They spend community credits to do it. Admin → Sponsored Threads is your oversight surface for those sponsorships.
How a sponsored thread happens
Sponsoring is a member action, not an admin one. On a thread they own, a member chooses to sponsor it and pays in credits:
- 6 hours for 500 credits
- 24 hours for 1,500 credits
The thread pins to the top of its forum with a Sponsored label and unpins automatically when the time runs out.
Managing sponsorships
From Admin → Sponsored Threads you see every active and past sponsorship. Two actions are available:
- Refund. Return the spent credits to the member and end the sponsorship.
- Revoke. End the sponsorship and unpin the thread without refunding.
Both actions are recorded in your audit log.
