I wasn't talking about juries. I know they have to be selected across the board. Cleita Aug 2015 #6

Hosts do not have anything to do with who can alert to juries. That is for Admin uppityperson Aug 2015 #8

As a host I can tell you that there is one that is alerting on many posts in our group. L0oniX Aug 2015 #14
