ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Call out of BainsBane over an ancient grudge about a TOS violation that was referred to MIRT ages ago. Not only is he being untruthful, he keeps bringing up his manufactured grudges to instigate shit. This kind of petty meta bullshit could well be a reason for DU's decline in popularity. Lumberjack jeff's witchunt is getting tiresome.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Dec 3, 2014, 04:55 PM, 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: Alerter refers to the post as a "call out" but doesn't seem to mention ANYONE, just posts a link with a LOT of posts. Since the conversation in THIS thread happens to be with someone also prominent in the other thread, I suspect this poster (Lumberjack Jeff's) grudge isn't the ONLY grudge at play in this alert. Since a huge chunk of this thread seems to be META anyway, I don't see why THIS post should be pulled without pulling whole sections of this thread as well.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Tiresome indeed.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If an alert needs a background story for the jurors to understand what it's about, then no one should be surprised that a juror's initial response (weel, this juror, anyway) is "WTF is wrong with this post?"
This kind of dispute needs some other kind of arbitration. On that basis, I vote to LEAVE IT.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Relatively benign given the idiocy that's been going on here of late. Alerting like this is petty bullshit too. Let it go.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with alerter.
