Doesn't seem to make any difference.

At Mon Mar 26, 2012, 04:39 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Have you mean lgbts been abusing the dominant society?

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Flamebait, slurs, and attacking the former mods/admins as being implicitly bigoted.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 26, 2012, 04:55 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: You sound like you do need a break.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: I don't see where this post could lead to a productive discussion.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It is not a call out if nobody is named. It is in the lgbt group. Back off the alert button.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given

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

so--- the post continues?. Boy we got some touchy posters today. complaining about past mods is bigoted now?
Having a bunch of intruders is counter productive. To whom it may concern: kiss my nuclear ass.And yes it can be productive if we can unmask a troll or two.

Complaining about mods is ok. But calling them bigoted is not.

I was juror # leave, no explanation.

and i believe many I've conversed with, Yes they can and should complain. I can't say they were not.

do you doubt my claim?

However, I know what's going on right now, and there are those who might try to stir trouble with us. As an LGBT host, I'm stating that they should also be civil.

Any time the purge is brought up, it stirs up elements of the DU population in both justifiable and unjustifiable anger. I think you and I both know what kind is unacceptable.

Just LGBT members, or is it open to all the bigots in DU in general?

Everyone that is not on an alerted persons jury blacklist is potentially on a given jury. There are factors, like post count and hidden posts that will either put you nearer the front of the line or nearer the back of the line.

Hosts can also vote on threads. That did not happen in your case. That was a jury. No LGBT host would have hidden that thread, controversial as it may be to some.

EDIT TO ADD: People also cannot jury on threads they have posted in.

Are more likely to get jury duty?

Strange system

and thanks for the reply!!

Detailed Explanation of the Jury Selection Process

For those who are interested, this sections provides a detailed breakdown of the Jury selection process.

Immediately after a Community Standards alert is sent our software begins to seat a Jury by randomly flagging members who are currently browsing DU. Members are excluded from serving if:

they have their "Willingness to serve on a DU Jury" option set to "Unwilling"
they are ignoring the alerted member
they are blocking DU mail from the alerted member
they have repled to the alerted member within the last 24 hours
they have alerted on the alerted member within the last 24 hours
they have posted in the thread which contains the alerted post
they are on the alerted member's Jury Blacklist

After checking to see if a potential Juror is not excluded, the software then does a virtual "dice roll" against the member's chance of serving. Every member's chance of serving is represented as a percentage and is publicly displayed on their Profile page. A member's maximum possible chance of serving is 100%, and their lowest possible chance of serving is 1%.

Things that increase a member's chance of serving:

Increase 1 percentage point for each 100 posts (up to 20 percentage points max = 2,000 posts)
Increase 1 percentage point for each 10 days of membership (up to 20 percentage points max = 200 days)
Increase 1 percentage point for each post in the last 90 days (up to 20 percentage points max = 20 posts)
Increase 40 percentage points for Star Membership

Things that decrease a member's chance of serving:

Decrease 5 percentage points for each hidden post in last 90 days

Once a member is selected to serve, they will be sent a request which they can either accept or refuse. If the member does not accept the request within five minutes the software will cancel the request and search for another Juror. If the member accepts the request within five minutes, they are seated on the Jury and can immediately begin to review the alerted post. The software continues to search for Jurors until six members have been seated. If any Juror does not complete their review of the alerted post within 30 minutes, their Jury Service will end and the software will search for another Juror to replace them.

this morning.

I seriously wanted to abuse them, verbally and psychologically, but the setting made this course of action unwise.

I'm still tweaked from it.

That's what my mp3 player is for. For just that kind of nonsense.

because I am feminine, blond and petite but chose to hold the hand of another woman. Oh well, I ended up feeling rather pleased that I was holding the hand of another lovely woman.

Should I feel differently? *smirk*

Horribly. We don't follow their religion, we don't sleep with the people they think would be perfect matches for us, and we are successful anyway, when we should be drowning in the lake of fire for our love of another human being.

We are terrible blows to their psyche and well, we just won't go away.
