If you accept, then you will see the post someone alerted on and what rule the post may have broken. You will be asked if you think the rules were broken or not.
You can opt out at any point in jury duty.

DU members are chosen at random to decide whether an alerted post breaks the rules and should be removed.

"Community standards" can be pretty low or one sided at times.
