General Discussion

That variables figure into the algorithm for juried posts. When you reach the screen where you vote there are four options, varying in strength of agreement or disagreement with the alert. I believe the options are weighted to factor in the final result but also reflect on the alerter. ie, only so many failing alerts are allowed.

I haven't thought about this for years - I reckon the memory of this comes from the time of the jury system introduction and I recall this being explained - probably in the meta forum.
