    Mods don't decide featured posts on meta. That is the sole discretion of staff.

    Right, so, if that is the issue then surely they could've just followed up with inital flag or comment and mentioned that instead of ignoring them. Have they learn't nothing that ignoring people doesn't help in any way?

  • @Magisch sam reasoning applies. Cannot mods apply the tag also? Mods could on SO as well. It suffices as an answer for both groups. Or would you like me to edit it?

  • They can, but have refrained from doing so. Deciding what gets featured is not in their scope of authority, even if nothing in the interface prevents it, if I recall correctly.

    @Script47 I honestly think people are snowed under and prioritising, not deliberately ignoring. I think if we got a insight into their working days we'd probably all be shocked.

    Journeyman Geek's answer provides a very different explanation, and one that appears to be based on SE-specific experience / fact. Your answer appears to be based solely on speculation. Both answers can't be correct, so that would explain why one answer is downvoted, where the other is upvoted.

    @JJJ: This answer doesn't cover that though. It says that the mods are too busy to handle the flags... Mods don't do "featured" flags on MSE.
