30. And now we're alerting on sarcasm
Sat Apr 5, 2014, 04:24 PM
Apr 2014

On Sat Apr 5, 2014, 04:01 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Alien UFOs are like Bigfoots
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4784693

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The "crazy talk" section of the TOS includes Bigfoot. The "really good at hiding and not being seen" and "every other person has definitely seen a UFO "from space" and Bigfoot!" part implies the user believes that UFO's and bigfoot exist despite admitting "there isn't any evidence of them."

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Apr 5, 2014, 04:12 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why the hell are we alerting on posts that have the main OP hidden? It's a beautiful day outside...go for a walk or something.


Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Resolve your petty disputes without frivolous alerts please.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Just a difference of opinion. it can be debated about in the thread. remember you can say anything you want as long as you play nice.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I read this as a jokey, slightly sarcastic comment on 'crazy talk'; not that the poster actually agrees with it.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I do though so wish that the topic of Unidentified Flying Objects could be discussed on DU by intelligent adults capable of reasoning rather than discussed by such imaginative people.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Looks like sarcasm to me.
