against other posters. I don't bother alerting on personal attacks directed toward me.

I'll also SOP alert on CT and medical woo threads posted in GD, but those alerts are less than useless, because Hosts routinely ignore the SOP when it comes to conspiracy theories. We've also recently learned that some Hosts ignore alerts based on the identity of the alerter.

IMO, juries should handle SOP alerts too, and Hosts should be eliminated.
