I have sat on DU Jury 7 times in the last 24 hours. That tells me one thing.

[William769]

I'm spending way to much time here.

EDIT: Make that eight times.

[Hugin]

1. I keep getting offers.

This is kinda like dating, isn't it? :/

[WillParkinson]

13. I keep getting offers...

And when I accept they say they don't need me any more.

You're right! It *IS* just like dating.

[Hugin]

20. ...

My point exactly.

[HopeHoops]

2. We need a new group - DUA. "My name's HopeHoops and I'm a DU addict."

[MiddleFingerMom]

6. 'HI, HOPEHOOPS!!!!!!!" n/t

[Hutzpa]

21. Hi HopeHoops!!

tell us about yourself, what brings you to DUA??

[immoderate]

3. People are alerting furiously. Wait till the dispuptors find it.

Let's see, for every alert, six+ DUers get summoned to jury duty. Is this not a vulnerability?

10. I was wondering about that too - it seems potentially open to lots of dispuptors. n/t

[Old and In the Way]

12. I'm getting concerned about this, too.

Seems like an easily abused exploit that could tie the whole board up in jury duty.Perhaps the moderators/hosts need to exercise judgement on which ones should be sent to the jury...and I'm really not sure how to use the Soapbox. I've got a locked thread for discussing jury duty - I'm told it belongs in the lounge. The lounge seems like an inappropriate place to discuss reasonably serious topics like jury duty. When the forum name is "soapbox", I'd think any opinion piece belongs there. The Lounge appears to be our version of Comedy Central.

24. It belongs in Help and Meta actually.

That's the forum that discussion of how DU operates, bug reports, improvement ideas, ATA, help requests & so on goes in.

If it's a post about how DU works or should work...then think H & M.

It's new and confusing but I think in time people will get the hang of this. Also, we're supposed to be permissive as hosts and accept that there might be confusion at-first over where posts go. We serve and work for the members: we're supposed to be heroes, make DU user-friendly and not be wardens or forum-cops.

4. There aren't all that many DUers on DU3 at any given time.

When the site goes live, there will be many, many more potential jurors available, so the 18 hour rule will probably be in effect and you won't be called again. At least, I understand that's the plan.

[William769]

7. Not complaining

Just conveying that maybe I spend to much time here.

At least I will be well versed when the site does go live.

[WheelWalker]

5. I've been under the impression that none of this is real, but only a test kitchen.

As such, I have assumed all alerts are instructional and not for reals.

[Chan790]

9. It's more-or-less real-life beta to my understanding.

Put a bunch of real users in a real piece of software to get real-life usage feedback. Some of the alerts and prodding is real, some of it is for test-function purposes.

[comipinko]

8. There are only 8 of us here, so.......

[seabeyond]

11. you guys are too fast for me. i have had 3 and all 3

times it is full by the time i click. one time was right now. right in front of my face and still i missed out

[Old and In the Way]

14. I'm 0-3 as well.

The last one returned a "jury full". I guess us old folks are just not quick enough on the draw.

On edit, 0-4...another "jury full"

[seabeyond]

15. lol lol. ya, well...

i just did one successfully. i guess i am not as old as you, or .....

teasin.

1-4, for me

[Old and In the Way]

18. Success! As soon as I posted, I got another shot. (The DU jury god must have felt bad)

So I'm now 1-4, too.

[seabeyond]

19. geez... are you gonna na na na na na

now. lol.

hey

maybe it is 3 tries and do the 4th. the renew? said it is a bug and had the same numbers. makes me feel better

[Old and In the Way]

23. Bonus feature - I get DU mail!

The only mail I ever get is acknowledgement of my DU monthly contribution.

[seabeyond]

25. i know. it is fun getting mail

the upside is i get a lot of mail people that cannot/willnot post on certain threads, but do express idea thru mail. that always makes it fun.

du2 is bold red. more fun than this meager attention getter.

[Renew Deal]

16. It's not you

It's a bug. I'm quick and I've had that happen like 3-4 times.

[seabeyond]

17. whoosh, thanks. between being called old and

still right there, i was getting paranoid.

[charlie and algernon]

22. just had my 5th

and that's not counting the 1 I had to refuse because I had to leave the computer and the 1 that was already full. So I guess I can say I was selected 7 times too in the last 24 hours.

[Chan790]

28. I think I'm up to about the same...

if you add the 1 I declined to serve and the 1 I had to cancel out of because the alert indirectly-but-explicitly concerns something I'm involved in for work.

[Texasgal]

26. I haven't been asked to one.

[William769]

27. Give it time.

[Scuba]

29. Temporary condition during test. After go-live, once per 18 hours will be the max. n/t
