On a previous blog, it was mentioned that our system of "featured" articles was not fair (along with other "unfair" things about the site).

When I said that nothing keeps you here if you don't like it here, I was told I was "beating a dead horse."

However, why I said that was because it appears that it isn't understood.  This site is run how the admins want it to run.  Don't expect that to change.  As with any site, logical suggestions will be considered, but don't expect any changes to happen.  If you don't like the site how it currently is, don't make it your crusade to "fix" it because all that will do is waste your time.  If all you can do is post negative things about the site, or be a drama queen because you don't think the site is "fair", then your best bet is to find a different site to use.
