Wednesday

you go all the way through the process by selecting an rule and then hitting the "I believe the post breaks this rule" button. If you didn't do that, no alert was sent. Simply opening the list of rules doesn't do anything on its own.

If you open the list of rules by accidentally tapping the Alert button, you can close the list by tapping the Alert button again.
