Forums: Extra metadata and "Stick" links feel out of place

It's not really clear what "Admin" and "Stick" mean at the bottom of this sidebar (if logged in as the plugin author). We should provide more context.

It's more obvious when the current user has more privileges, that "Admin" is a heading (style matches "Tags") and "Stick" is a moderation command, but with only one item it doesn't have the grey borders that make it look connected.

Design could help here, or maybe just improve the text. The heading & link could both be rephrased.

• "Stick" could be "Pin this thread" or something similar? (I assume that's what it does)
• "Admin" could be… "Moderation tools" … not sure, really?

Taking a quick look though, that whole menu (including "Stick") comes from bbpress, so we probably can't easily change that text. Just the heading.

Ahh, it was not clear that "Admin" was the heading to me. 🤦‍♂️
