Title
Allow postdated entries for community maintainers

Short, concise description of the idea
The title is pretty clear : I'd like community maintainers to be able to postdate entries, not moderators, only maintainers

Full description of the ideaThe difference between postdated entries and sticky posts is that people cannot comment on a sticky post

While I like the idea of being able to implement "stickied" posts that stay at the top of a community's Recent Entries view, I don't think that mucking around with the dates would do it.

In communities (and also on people's Friends page views), entries display in the order they were actually posted, not organized by date. I'm guessing that this is (at least in part) to accommodate for different time zones and people's computer clocks set at different times. That's why you might see someone's entry (say they're in Japan) dated January 5 at midnight displaying as earlier than another person's entry (say they're on the West Coast of the U.S.) dated January 4 at 10 AM. And furthermore, someone might want to be cute and set the year of their computer's clock to 2037 or thusly change the date of their entry. With these situations, it would be infeasible to enforce "stickied" posts via postdating

I actually like this idea very much. I don't know how hard it would be to implement, but it would be really handy for communities!

And I kind of like allowing both maintainers and moderators (LiveJournal-speak, as like many I call the people running a community moderator) to do this (or have that be an option, anyway).
