1. Worst idea ever, anonymous juries.

They allow really poor behavior, good posters can get creamed depending on who sits on the jury, it has driven away a lot of good people.

It's really a shame.

5. There needs to be a two/thirds majority requirement to hide, IMO

Drop it from 7 jurors to 6 and all ties let it stand.

12. So it would not have been hidden anyway. nt

14. I agree, and would like to see a few other improvements.

A process for appeal wouldn't be too hard to enact.

A limit on the number of alerts that a member can make should be established.

In addition to blocking jurors, we should be able to block particular members from alerting.

It's just gotten silly, people baiting and alerting then "grave dancing" in the thread where a post is hidden.

It's bullshit, enabled by administrators who have abdicated responsibility for maintaining civility.

Still the best political site, but not as good as it was before juries, IMHO.

6. Yup. For sure.

2. pat them on the heads for bemusement, but don't feed them-- the dogmatic love attention.

There are four (five?) posters who cannot allow themselves to see Putin's expansionism, cry foul when someone questions the accuracy of the Russian Times yet questions the accuracy of everything but the Russian Times.

Bless their little heart... pat them on the heads for bemusement, but don't feed them-- the dogmatic love attention.

3. Nah. Just a lot of clueless people on the juries, who think it's OK to let almost anything stand.

And don't understand or refuse to recognize the troll issue.the troll issue.
The fact that this guy is still able to post is proof of that.
In my opinion he should have been banned long ago for his blatant trolling.

8. Yes.

Not only Putin lovers, also racists, sexists, homophobes, right wingers, corporatists...

an absolute abortion.

Oh... anti-choicers too.

9. IBTL.

Not sure why that would be hidden. Stupidity alone is not a reason to hide. I would be in trouble if it were.
