At Sun Apr 14, 2013, 08:08 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

In the market for a new propeller?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=365106

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Please hide this disgusting sexual euphemism. I"m no prude but this is waaay over the top

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 14, 2013, 08:16 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Based on the OP and reading the response...I'm not hiding. I'd go farther and say the person who filed this alert should have their DU privileges taken away for a few weeks for this kind of wasting people's time.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I don't even get the sexual comment, ....?
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Alerter is either playing games, or is a dumbass. OP is about shoals, which will ruin a propeller if you drive your boat onto one.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Hahahahaha!
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: A screw is a nautical term for an underwater propeller, now had that be used it might have been misconstrued as sexual euphemism.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Won't hide. Want to see where this goes...

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I have no idea at all what the OP meant about shoals.

For me, the only time I have ever gotten that worked up about "shoals" was when I hit one and wound up paying over $100 for a new propeller.

I will admit, I am pretty clueless when it comes to some things. I can't even begin to imagine how "propeller" is a disgusting sexual euphemism.

I really do not understand this at all. I did not understand the OP and was just attempting to play along.

36. Yes, but where does the "n/t" go?

If the purpose of the n/t is to tell the reader that there is no text in the body of the post, then wouldn't it make more sense to place it on the header? Putting it in the body of the post seems wrong. Maybe I should do a PSA for the Lounge.
