I served on a jury yesterday and I frankly thought the post that was alerted on didn't break any rules. It might have seemed a close call to some but a painful "other opinion" that certain people just don't want to hear. I didn't agree with the post but I thought the opinion, critical thought it was, deserved to be heard. (If the point is to avoid pie fights, well then okay, censoring the post is okay, but if it's to eliminate all posting critical of fellow Democrats, I object on Constitutional grounds.) I think I might start noting the time of such posts and checking back later also.

I have only ever alerted on obvious trolls - the ones against me have always been extremely petty

I would love to get an e-mail saying something like "The post you alerted on was hidden by a jury by a vote of 7-5."
