I don't alert unless it's a very clear violation of the ToS, like a personal attack against another DU member, or if it's an obvious troll spewing RW talking points.
I'm a huge proponent of the 1A and I won't tolerate any attack against our right to free speech and, sadly, I've seen far too much of this crap leaking into DU with these nonsensible alerts.
