First, you have no idea how many alerts are being sent on your posts.

Second, you have been getting hides because you have broken the rules. You should review the site rules and endeavor to follow them. This is particularly important for new members who need to figure out how to engage with the community:

Third, we previously discussed an issue you were having with alerting on DU Mail messages. However, now you are talking about not being able to alert on posts. Are you talking about the same problem, or two separate problems? As I explained previously, if you are getting an error message I’ll need to know what it is. You can send it to me via DU Mail. Please explain the problem in as much detail as possible when you do.
