My fat thumb accidentally hit "alert" instead of "rec."

Hopefully my use of the back key prevented from going through.

It was the wonderful post about Liz Cheney's pride in voting for Kamala and Tim.

and clicking the button saying you believe that the post broke the rule, it wouldn't have gone through.

So, no worries.

Luckily, I've never had an accidental alert actually go through.

I’ve done it more than once. I think you have to confirm and say what rule you think was broken before it submits.
