Sometimes, posts can potentially violate multiple rules, so the system allows for posts to be alerted on multiple times -- but only once per rule. Once a post has survived a Jury for, say "No personal attacks," it can't be alerted on again for that rule. But if the same post also contains something bigoted, it can be alerted again under the "No bigotry" rule.

If the initial Jury is still in progress when the second alert is sent, the system queues the second alert but does not call a Jury. Then, if the post is removed for the first alert, the queued alert is discarded and no second Jury is called. But if the post is left alone, a second Jury will be called immediately to resolve the queued alert.

As always, the Jury system is subjective, so you should do what you think is right when serving.

(For what it's worth, when I review appeals I review them against ALL the rules, but that's because I have to -- a post can only be removed for a single rule, but it might break multiple rules. So if someone has a post removed for making a personal attack, and they appeal it, and I determine that the appeal is valid, then I'll put the post back. But if the post ALSO contains something bigoted, then I'm not going to put the post back just because the personal attack appeal was approved.)
