How do posts get promoted to the front page?

There are always a handful of authors at BlueNC with special administrative privileges that give them the ability to promote a diary (or a calendar event or a poll, you name it) to the front page.

Not every thoughtful, factually correct, well-written, beautifully researched post winds up on the front page. There are times when our front page is already moving too quickly for us to keep up. This is typically when your masterpiece will be overlooked.

As a rule of thumb, reader posts should be (1) focused on North Carolina politics, and (2) thoughtful, well-written and factually correct to be considered as front page material. Sometimes a quick poll or a couple of sentences will generate a very active conversation in the comments. These posts will also be considered for the front page.

You forgot to discuss the bribes

Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.

while writing these faqs. I'm not sure why, but it's hard to keep a straight face while writing this stuff!

Obviously, I wasn't able to refrain.
