6. There can be lots of alerts, but each post is only adjudicated once.

Just like real courts, there aren't multiple trials for a single offense.

So if someone posts "so and so is a f****t," someone else alerts on it and a buddy sends them a DU mail, they edit the post to remove f****t, the jury sees the edited post and votes to leave it, the post is safe after that. It doesn't get adjudicated again even if there are 100 new alerts.

I can't easily find the jury rules, but here's how you can verify it: If you ever find a really offensive post try alerting on it, then immediately alert a second time. You'll get one of two responses - one telling you to wait until your prior alert has been resolved OR one asking you what the issue with the post is. Because the response is immediate (i.e. there hasn't been time for a jury to adjudicate a post), it means the post has already survived an alert and is immune from future alerts.
