Allow me to elaborate - I have never seen a post that has already been approved as "ok", or has already been approved for "frontpage" but not the other. Perhaps it is a caching issue. I'd like to test it out this morning, but there are no new posts. :) As to why mark one and not the other, I mark it as "ok" if the post is a) formatted mostly correctly, b) on-topic and c) not previously asked. For the frontpage, I also throw in the condition that it be relatively short. I just don't like adding 200+ lines to the frontpage. I know that there is no "show only first X lines of the post" feature yet, so *someone* will have to approve it for the frontpage. :) That's why I would vote something ok and not frontpage. I can't think of a reason why I would do it the other way around, however... if it is good enough for the frontpage, it is certainly ok for the section.
