(38,041 posts)I never post when I'm on a jury but this one I had to . . . I'm juror number 4. This Post should not have been alerted on. If one wishes to have a list of "words we will edit or hide" that includes swear words put it up in Ask The Admin. now I'm a founding member, former Admin and current moderator at a site for women in a specific space and place in life. We actually call and verify your identity prior to your approval at our site, we do not allow ANY posts about political or social commentary events and ideas - and we have a list of words we will edit. The word twat is on tat list as well as he phrase white trash (took me years to get everyone to agree and see the light on that one). Be very careful what you ask for . . .

REASON FOR ALERT

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This person cannot control herself from cursing at other posters. Inappropriate.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jan 23, 2014, 06:08 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: cursing is not prohibited on DU
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter needs to grow a thicker skin if he wants to participate in Internet discussions. "Tough fucking shit" is crude language but it's not directed at another poster and it's hardly bad enough to warrant an attack of the vapors.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: With as many F bombs as we all hear on a daily basis if this woman who did not swear at anyone in particular wrote these words: fucking and shit has caused distress then the Internet is not for you. Yesterday evening someone posted A thread about not allowing your parrot to watch porn - for your reference: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024374235
It received more than 800 views.

If that did not get alerted on (my husband and I were in tears laughing at it) then this must stand.
We also do not have a concise list of words we will edit.
If the alerter wishes to have such a list they should reach out to the admin of the site and have those two words added.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: PeaceNikki?
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No reason for the rudeness
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
