This is something to be addressed... The quality of work that the blog admins are doing here.
You may have noticed that the blogs that get accepted for the featured page are mostly from the same folks. Yeah, it's probably because there aren't a lot of different people that actually submit blogs, but that's a different point.
There might be people who try to get a blog on the featured page and it gets declined.
Is this situation a result of possibly favoritism? Or are the blogs that get accepted actually good? That's something you can think about.
And guess what? Admins accept their own blogs sometimes. Who are they to say that their own blogs are featurable? Are they so convinced that they write good blogs that they do that?
"Um, that's why they're blog admins, BanMan. They can tell if blogs are good or not."
SHUT UP.
Why are admins accepting their own blogs? Can't you just wait until another admin sees it sitting there pending, or do you think if you let someone else review it THAT IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE ACCEPTED? AND IT WOULD BE DECLINED? HUH?
It's the same people who accept their own blogs that decide if other people's blogs should be featured, folks. Isn't that interesting?
I'll be perfectly honest, I don't really care if people accept their own blogs or not, though others do not feel it is right. To some people it may seem like an abuse of power because regular members cannot feature their own blogs. If it is an important announcement though, I believe it is perfectly acceptable to feature your own blog.

I have no issues with people accepting their blogs, as long as they're not trash. The whole "you can't accept your own blogs" thing was spearheaded by admin wanna-be users looking to "police the police" because admins were "so corrupt and mean".
I honestly don't care, though. Considering how barren the blogs are at points, letting a blog sit for an hour because no one else is online is a waste. With the exception of BanMan, our blog mods are fairly skilled writers.
Same goes for bumping blogs. Please, bump more blogs. It's a severely underused feature, and all because a specific member thought it was unfair because his whiny blogs didn't get the attention they "deserved".
Stop ruining the section with your noobishness, basically.
