For questions, you can attract attention by offering a bounty.
Now let's say you worked hard and offered what you feel is a very good answer (possibly a lot better than the currently accepted answer) - problem is - no one's looking at it - especially if there are already many answers with up-votes and with an accepted answer.
Is there any way to attract attention to it?
EDIT:
Feature request: What if we could ask for moderator attention for good answers (as well) possibly for a cost of some points - after which the moderators could decide to either reject the claim that it is a very good answer or distinguish it in some way - if it is indeed a good answer...like for example to display it as the first answer or the like.
