Please Don't Use the Alert Feature for Reporting One-Liners

When you click the Alert button this is what is written on the alert form below the submit button,

We encourage members to alert us to posts that might be a potential problem. However, please be aware that this feature is intended for flagrant violations of our Terms & Conditions such as trouble makers, insults, inappropriate content, and potential copyright violations. This feature is not intended to alert staff to minor issues like 1-liner or off-topic posts.

It seems this message is often missed or ignored as we are regularly receiving Alerts for one-liners. Daily we already receive many alerts and complaints. Receiving alerts and complaints for minor issues like one-liners only takes our focus away from serious T&C violations.
Many times the alert feature is abused in order to get a thread opponent in trouble over a one-liner. Often the person abusing the alert feature doesn't understand what a one-liner even is.

I'll take this time to clear up what a one-liner is.
A one-liner is not necessarily a single line of text. What we consider to be a one-liner is a short response that doesn't add any value to the thread. Comments like "Nice post!" and "Awesome thread. I just flagged it!" are examples of one-liners.
To learn more about what a one-liner is please read these threads: Warnings for one-line or short responses

--Off Topic, One Liners and General Back Scratching Posts--

Thank you to all those who send alerts for violations of our terms and conditions. This is very helpful in keeping our board great.
