Usually you are asked to evaluate a series of posts that end with one being questioned about a rules violation. You are clearly told which rule is possibly being violated. You read the posts and see if the last one was out of bounds. I have noticed about half of them are one poster seeking revenge on another who have a disagreement. Most are real violations and you vote to hide the out of bounds post. I think I have seen one or two who were Freepers here to disrupt.
