54. Alerts go to juries, and their decision can hide a post

Hosts have independent authority to lock a thread in their forums--and they don't require an alert to do that. Are hosts even notified of alerts?

If forum hosts don't catch something, a DU Mail msg can alert them to something they should see. Of course, you have to know who the hosts are and which of them is on the board currently in order to direct a msg...

Are you aware that calling for the assassination of public officials is a serious issue? cbayer Jul 2013 #10

Public official? burnodo Jul 2013 #14

Yes, it's called democracy. Even you could get elected. cbayer Jul 2013 #22

Where did I say any public official should be assassinated? burnodo Jul 2013 #24

What? Did someone take over your computer and type the post that was removed cbayer Jul 2013 #26

*cough* Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2013 #15

Quite true, I just couldn't resist. cbayer Jul 2013 #17

Sure. I like that yellowy oil that tastes sort of like butter on mine. cbayer Jul 2013 #37

Stricken is as stricken does burnodo Jul 2013 #36

Calling for the assassination of public figures is not progressive imo. cbayer Jul 2013 #38

Now, where in the world did you get that idea? cbayer Jul 2013 #44

I agree that this is pure meta and probably even more than that. cbayer Jul 2013 #41

That post probably should've gotten you tossed so yeah, celebrate Lex Jul 2013 #28

Woohooooooo! burnodo Jul 2013 #33

FYI - this is pretty meta and may get alerted and possibly locked Kali Jul 2013 #35

helps if folks will send alerts Kali Jul 2013 #48

We wait for alerts. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #50
