I'm happy to serve on this boards juries when asked, but...

If the disputed language is not highlighted in red, and the selected post has nothing to do with the rule cited, I end up cancelling my participation. This has happened to me the last two times I was asked to serve.

Algorithm?

That kind of sounds like 'false reporting' (alert) to me. Either that, or the person flagging the post just inadvertently clicked on the wrong category of 'infraction'?

In any case, as Earl has stated in the past - there is absolutely nothing wrong with backing out of that particular jury service - and in the case you describe (just simply not germane), quite likely the most correct option.

Especially on small screen phones. I sometimes estimate that 1/20 or more of the screen scrolls I do end up in clicking on a link by mistake.

Tried it a couple times, then backed out and cancelled out. I’m using Safari browser on an iPad.
