Q: Post remains featured in the bulletin even if [featured] tag is removed

TuringTuxThis question about nominations for Pro Tempore Moderators on Computer Science Educators Meta was a featured question, but was unfeatured on June 23. However, it sometimes still appears as featured on the main page of Computer Science Educators SE: This might have something to do with the fact...

bug locked-questions community-bulletin featured-tag
Was there ever any sort of explanation for this?
I just saw a question that has been unfeatured for nearly a year show up as featured.

Q: Is adding a link to a search term at the end of posts okay?

ccprogI just encountered an unusual way a user marks their posts. At the end of posts there is a link saying IMSVG, WCICON, etc. Those lead to a Stack Overflow search for that abbreviation: This seems to be a tagging mechanism, without the restrictions of actual tags. Is doing this okay? I don't ...

Uh, I'm surprised more people don't do this

@MartinJames - beats me, mate. Maybe some people like closing questions. I seen one earlier that was crystal clear. It had numerous answers that fixed the problem. But it got closed due to "not being clear." So to say "don't answer questions that will be closed" is not solid advice. It's a gamble. It's a small gamble, but qualifies none the less. — Joe Beck Aug 19 at 22:13

And you're complaining about a review ban?

I wonder why the site accepted a word that translates to that, with so many other choices.

Yes, but if you're looking for help, wouldn't it be the "HELPFUL" that would catch your eye first? :D
