Nod. My current approach to that is to write comments whenever the mod team frontpages something that is an edgecase. I’m not sure whether tagging would add much to the equation but we have talked about that sometimes.
Especially for non-short posts, I often read and digest the post before looking at comments. Having a tag or other visible indicator that the mods have considered the question and I shouldn’t be quite as distracted as I seem to be by the potential disruption of a political topic would help me.
I don’t look at frontpage much (my bookmark is allPosts), so I don’t distinguish much between promoted and just normal posts. Maybe that’s a problem too—some indication of endorsement that shows on the post when something is promoted to frontpage.
