If you don't think a post belongs in this group:

Use the alert button and choose off topic. This alert will not go to a DU jury, but only to the hosts of this group. Hosts cannot hide the post, but they can warn the poster or block the poster or do nothing, depending upon the judgment of the hosts.

I don't mean to talk down to anyone who is already aware of this, but I just learned this myself. I thought the off topic alert went to a DU jury, just like the other alerts.

only at the first post in the thread. But, you can still use it to specify, for example, "Reply 4 on this thread is OT for this group." or something of the kind.

Please see the longer discussion of same on this thread:
