I think the admins would probably note that if people alert on a post that has already gone to jury, they get a DUMail with the results.

I would guess that the admins take note of the alerts they receive, even the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc., and they probably are factored into consideration when they make the decision to tombstone someone. That's just a guess--I don't have any inside scoop on the process. It stands to reason, though, that if a hundred people hit the alert button on a single post, that "the community" feels that standards have been violated.

I don't know if they want to fiddle with the software to display the results automatically. It would be interesting to see if that made any difference in the willingness of the jurors to comment, though!
