Unanimous results from my super fun jury service today

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

OP uses foreign language without translation. Also OP sends note to jury without translation. Last post in thread by OP is simulating the thread is locked. Several responses to OP are in foreign languages without being translated.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Feb 26, 2016, 12:33 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Pretty funny. Lorem ipsum is the language of everyone and nobody at the same time.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That is well-known Latin placeholder script. Give me a break. Also, if DU actually has a "no foreign languages without translation policy," that is ridiculous.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This seems to be a pretty ridiculous alert to me.

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's not a foreign language. It's the fake Latin-like language used as a place-holder in a lot of word-processing templates. The OP is making some kind of point about generic, meaningless posts. I don't quite get it but it's not hideable.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Foreign language without translation? Template Latin is neither disruptive nor hurtful.

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



Happy weekend, y'all!

Somebody needs to have their alert privileges suspended for that. Plus, apparently, a blankie, nookie, and a nap.

I don't think I could have come up with a "reason" quite as nicely as the one actually put down.
