The anonymous thumbs down thing I can just about compute, but what are all these alerts for?

How can you say they're anonymous when there's a pattern-scryer on your team? 😉

There are no names attached to the thumbs down: anonymous in that sense.

That aside, what are all these alerts [requests for posts to be deleted] for?

It was me who suggested that "Kevin Eleven" might be a change for the better after "caesar salad". You're fumbling a wee bit and getting posters mixed up.
I can see his confusion if indeed there were any confusion as you both seem very much alike. ; )

Great question for a Moderator not a poster fmf! 😉

Although waste of time there too, because your not going to get an answer from them, sometimes even if you are the one having a thread or post removed. 🙂 Just go with the flow, easier that way! 🙂

Just because someone says something doesn't make it true. 🙂

It's a question directed at anyone interested in how this community conducts itself.

Not just anyone in the community can answer that question fmf, you do understand that part right?

Only a Moderator or an administrator can tell you why a post is removed or alerted which you know isn't going to happen. Up to you to figure out as the why it was alerted or giving a thumbs down. You're a smart guy, I am sure you can do that.

It's you who doesn't understand. It's only members of the community ~ and not the moderators ~ who can answer the question: what are all these alerts for?

That's right. The moderator isn't going to comment. So the question is for posters here. Examples: "I am alerting people I think are posting drunk, regardless of what they say." Or "I am alerting people who are too strident." Or "I am alerting people to teach them some manners." This recent spree of people alerting posts is an unwelcome escalation. I think it should be discussed. But courage is needed in some quarters. If I alerted a post, I would immediately post and say I did so and why.

I see, so you just want to start more argument with who ever is doing the alerting.

Thanks for letting me and everyone know! 🙂

Do you do that on every single alert you make? 😉

I understand quite well you want to argue with who ever is alerting posts of yours so you can argue with them about it just for argument sake.....LOL.... Too Obvious fmf.
