I'm hashing out the details of this, but in short, there is a great many trusted members of the Philly Future community who, upon posting to the service, we trust. Any of their posts get promoted to the home page when they are seen (you know who you are :)).
So instead of it being a manual process for Philly Future's administrators to keep an eye on these Philly Future participants, why not give them the authority to automatically promote their own stories? And maybe even moderate the site's comments and promote newer member's stories?
We've always said this site belongs to you. Well why not make it so in functionality as well as in spirit?
