REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Fair is fair. A post, similar to this, designed ONLY to slime and cause flame was hidden today sending a long time DU'er into privileges revoked. Lets be fair and honest then and hide this as well. It is nothing but lowly slime.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Dec 27, 2015, 09:51 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I think this maybe laking its sarcasm tag? Otherwise this reads as a snarcky attack. Sorry to have to hide for the disrespectful tone.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerting on posts isn't supposed to be used for revenge. Alerter admits that this alert is exactly that. Leave.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I didn't see the original hidden post, so I can't compare the two.
I was ready to hide this one until the end when I finally understood the poster's intentions. I as well, am sick of conspiracy theories.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
