I mean… sure? Some posts have ghost emoji in them, but they aren’t at the top of any/every page, and I’m not sure how they would even know to time their posts like that in such an active environment. Not saying they can’t; just seems like a lot of work.

Pagination gets calculated based on the Forums Settings, so the “top” reply should not even be a real thing. It’s not stored anywhere. It’s not a special value. It’s just mathematically there.
