I was just on a jury but never got results I assume that means the poster was shown the door.

I'd love to encourage people to sign your jury votes it makes you take a momement and really think about the consequences of your vote. Happy jury duty everyone!

I usually read a lot of the other posts in the thread, to get the context, and I usually find when I get the results that my comment was the longest.

The result is that I very often get an email about the results as soon as I submit my vote. I was the one holding up the parade.

Apologies in advance if I do that to you. Cultivate patience.

That took a rocket scientist. Or not.

I like it though, the bigger the jurry, the more likely to come up with a fair decision.

It was on your post. Don't know whether to or

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Whining about DU's technical glitches.




j/k Want to see if there are any obvious glitches right off the bat and what better post to send to a 7 member jury than Skinner's announcement thread.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Apr 3, 2014, 03:25 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation:
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh please.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is the most reasonable alert ever! El_Bryanto
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: WTF?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: LOL. LLP
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: hunh... whaaaaaaaaa???! is this one of those glitches or.......?
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation:

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I wonder who alerted. I bet that Skinner knows!

Who did it? I'd love to go for coffee or a beer with you! Lololol.

PUT YOU IN.....THE COMFY CHAIR!
And poke you with THE SOFT PILLOWS!!!


BWAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAA!

We don't know who alerted. Skinner does, I am certain.

weird!

I expect to be called soon on one.

and yes, that is my view on this.

will this effect the new jury system?

I think my L:H ratio over time is 20:1 or so

If you were to always vote "Leave", that means votes will only be hidden if 4 of the remaining jurors vote "Hide". In the old jury system that would be 80% of them (4 out of 5). However in the new system it will only be 66.7% (4 out of 6).

So I guess, in a sense, you will be turning the new juries that you participate in into something akin to the old juries which you did not participate in. So perhaps you could consider that being an effect upon the system.

Blatant Barney Fife and Gomer Pyle reference...

I bow to Barney Fife! King of Nerddom

I don't think there ever was anyone dorkier than Barney Fife...


NIIIITAAAAA....WAAAHAAAHAAA NIIIIITA!!!!!

In the second case it is totally correct to say "the new jury system will effect juries on which you serve", but probably doesn't quite mean what the poster thought it did.

You're friendly neighborhood grammar nazi

(case 2: good one!)

Until yourve gon over teh lion.

It is good to see.

Thanks!

No system is perfect (given the injection of people with their complex psychologies) into theoretical constructs/systems governing the adjudication of disputed tone and content, but this certainly seems like a sensible tweak to the existing system: ties are eliminated and the "magic number" of 7 seems just right (neither too large nor too small to render fast, fair verdicts most of the time).

Maybe.

I'm ready. Oh, too soon?

this to be a good thing.

Always hated them, and not just on DU.

...therefore I should be exempt from any decision regarding my posts.

Hey! I'm a OnePercenter wannabee!

does that increase their alerting time out? Say to....36 hours? lol!

I was just on one!

Just kidding. I appreciate the efforts you and other Admins go to, to make this a great message board. And I believe it is.

Were you on another one since then?

It was when I got on after getting home. The one around noon I was at work.

Unfortunately, I can't remember which trainwreck GD thread it was in.

I'm sure this will be an improvement.

I hope it helps settle things down a bit. I also hope I don't end up with hidden posts now! Maybe we'll all try and be a little nicer now that a hide will be easier to get? Hey, a girl can dream...right?

Seriously, thanks for all the hard work coding this into reality. I know it doesn't happen on its own and appreciate the effort.

In the last day there were 20 alerts, and 13 were hidden. That's a much higher percentage hidden than usual.

What remains to be seen is whether it is a fluke or a trend.

I hope it is not a trend.

So eggshells it is
