Another job of a moderator is to promote important discussions and ensure that they are featured on the site. Featured discussions can be separately accessed under the featured discussions view. This provides a moderator-curated view of important content, and members of this site might find themselves monitoring the featured discussions to keep up with important discussions within the community.
In the discussions list, click the More Options ellipsis (...) in the line directly under the New Discussion link. On the menu that appears, click Unanswered Questions.
Your site moderators should be chosen for their subject-matter expertise in addition to their available time and capabilities with respect to the site moderator responsibilities. This is because they might be called upon to assist on difficult questions.
In the discussion list, click the subject of one of the discussions that you want to mark as a featured discussion.
At the bottom of the topmost item in the discussion, click the ellipsis (...) and then, on the menu that appears, click Mark As Featured.
