Comments can be marked "featured" or "buried" in the Comments administration section of a site.
Marking them with one of the aforementioned flags does nothing in the front-end, except adding a CSS class in the HTML code.
Using these two classes, featured or buried comments can be styled differently from the normal comments.
By default, no special styles are added to these specially marked comment categories, mainly because themes different too much from one another. This action will require the admin to add his own CSS styles.
