5. Try not to let it get to you too much.

Juries get it wrong...a lot.

Almost every one of my alerts on blatantly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, way over-the-top rude personal attacks, or blatant newbie trolling get rejected by juries as frivolous. Often, jurors will explicitly agree with the alert but vote to leave anyway. One of my favorites was when I alerted on a racist post that went 3-3. One of the "leave it" jurors agreed that the post was racist but didn't think it was offensive enough to hide.

I've just started viewing the alert as a symbolic gesture.
