REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
DU provides a signature function so people can have a signature attached to all of their posts. That function is limited so those signatures don't get out of hand -- for example, there is a height limit for the entire signature, you can't use big text, you can't put in too much formatting, and signatures are stripped out in mobile view. It's part of the "DU Social Contract" -- you can use a signature line, but out of respect to everyone your ability to use a signature line has some very reasonable limits. This person has violated the DU Social Contract -- instead of accepting the very reasonable limits on his signature line, he has chosen to copy-and-paste his signature line into the message body of every post. It is disrespectful to this community, and it violates the DU Social Contract.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jul 11, 2013, 10:34 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Huh? Well then, contact the poster directly or complain to a mod who would contact them. The post is fine, other than the supposed violation of the density in the signature line.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: You have got to be kidding me! Please, stop with the stupid alerts. Go back to bed or something, alerter!
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: aren't we fighting enough battles on DU right now than to turn our efforts to frivolous alerts such as this? What will be next....an alert because a user name appears to be a misspelling? (bangs head against wall)
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
