AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

Mail Message
On Sun Apr 3, 2016, 07:05 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The gist of this joke appears to be that the G in Green Bay Packers stands for "gay". Is that supposed to be funny? I'm pretty sure that thinking it's funny to call people gay went out of style some time ago (certainly at DU, anyway).

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 3, 2016, 07:15 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: And where is Scuba from?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This alert should disqualify the alerter from ever alerting again.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Kinda of childish isn't it?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: WHAT? Some people here need to take a break. Their fevered imaginations are getting the better of them.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I don't find any jokes about gays or the gay lifestyle appropriate or tasteful.

I wish we could give this poster two or more hides for this offensive and hurtful post.

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

This once terrific website is now controlled not by the owners...but by alert trolls.

Was to sanction people who make frivolous alerts. This one is a good candidate.
