At Tue Aug 14, 2012, 11:47 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
Men, do you shave? How much, and why?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/11143182
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:
This is sad. Men can choose to wear a moustache or a beard. There is no comparison to the pressure on women to shave their legs and under their arms. This is ridiculing women for discussing their thoughts and feelings about this double standard that men have the option of shaving but they don't at least not in the US without dealing with criticism about being disgusting or gross.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Aug 14, 2012, 11:54 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick, now I've seen it all. I can't believe someone alerted on this. Thinkpol strikes again!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: voting to keep, because there are in fact many women who call men with back hair, nose hair or ear hair disgusting or gross. If this had been an alert on some of the responses which seem focused on personal attacks on DU members/feminists, I'd be voting to hide it.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Are most alerts this thin and ridiculous, or am I just lucky? This isn't the type of thread I'd click on, in fact, I'd probably avoid it, for several reasons. But what rules are broken? There's no right to not be offended, overly sensitive or not. Let it stand.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: not a copycat...
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

And unless someone is on a jury, the alerts that get voted down, you never know about.

We obviously have someone or a small group that alert trolls here on a daily basis

Let me say this: One, I suspect there are more jobs that require men to shave their faces

Trimming, yes. Periodically. To prevent interference with the feeding process.
