Most of the alerts have been silly crap that does not meet the criteria for a hide.

It's ridiculous!

Take some deep breaths and enjoy what you see at the convention. It's practically a love feast compared to that dumpster fire in Cleveland last week.

The only way to stop them is to alert. Saw one today complaining about "pro-Hillary digs" (!) and that such pro-Hillary diggers are sick twisted souls or insane or Republican trolls.
