The moderators keep an eye out for interesting content that is ignored on submission, and put the posts back into a queue to be published again.
Thanks to both of you!
The admins do this sometimes, it's called the "second-chance pool" or something like that. They'll look at stories from the past few days that deserved more attention than they got, and essentially re-submit them.
