Re Juries: How would you like to see "Things that increase a member's chance of serving" altered?

There seems to be a lot of consensus here that, after the 1st year's trial period, the jury system is broken and that the best way to fix it is to redefine the method in which jurors are given the privilege to serve.

As a reminder, below is the current equation that works out a member's chances of serving...

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

If enough DUers give their suggestions and an agreed upon consensus is reached, maybe the Admins will take the suggestions seriously and fine tune the selection process accordingly?
