| Jul 25, 2019 at 2:23 | comment | added | George Stocker Mod | @tylerH Yes, that's what I'm saying. (I may be wrong; but I only see two on my sideboard even though we have three active). | |
| Jul 24, 2019 at 21:52 | comment | added | TylerH | Wait, @GeorgeStocker you're saying mods only have space for two [featured] posts? | |
| Jul 24, 2019 at 16:23 | comment | added | Michael come lately | @JeremyBanks While I understand the irony, I'm not exactly amused. Someone somewhere is probably writing a unit test to make sure the next version of the sidebar doesn't pin items indefinitely. | |
| Jul 24, 2019 at 16:02 | comment | added | user1114 | Amusingly, the feature appears to have been bugged such that the Facebook post is remaining pinned, even though the tag was removed hours ago. :P | |

Address context.

| Jul 24, 2019 at 15:01 | comment | added | Kaddath | @Justin the context is not relevant to the problem, each mod can analyze any context and take a different decision based on they knowledge and conclude different things; taking the context in consideration is not what will prevent edit wars. About this specific post, I completely disagree with George (and you?). Meta is not only the place (actually not) to be heard by the company, but to interact with the community IMO. You are tracked if other users you see on pages use FB avatars, not if you use them, as the title change suggests. And users should know about it until solved! | |
| Jul 24, 2019 at 14:49 | comment | added | Justin | Really needs the context of George's comment "Removing this from featured; as there are current events that need that second spot; and if the company hasn't been briefed on this by now, I'm not sure holding up one of our two featured spots is the way to make sure they see it (also, I'll reach out on Chat and get confirmation that a company representative has seen this post)." | |
