If you don't think a post belongs in this group:

Use the alert button and choose off topic. This alert will not go to a DU jury, but only to the hosts of this group. Hosts cannot hide the post, but they can warn the poster or block the poster or do nothing, depending upon the judgment of the hosts.

I don't mean to talk down to anyone who is already aware of this, but I just learned this myself. I thought the off topic alert went to a DU jury, just like the other alerts.

Huge to Creek Dog.

Some were nice about it. Some, not so much. But it only works for the main post, not replies. Replies go to a jury

did mention that an alerter might want to post or pm the OP to let him or her know the alert is not about him or her.
