Nah Ptah Jan 2014 #1

Thanks for the heads up, Jury should not be judged on one's personal opinion on the subject Thinkingabout Jan 2014 #2

Why not? Biased jurors are weeded out in real courtrooms. Atman Jan 2014 #64

I use it. I have 13 on mine. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #3

Mine's full, but then I put a couple on twice to be sure. nm rhett o rick Jan 2014 #22

How and why would you know how many alerts are sent on you, justin? Bluenorthwest Jan 2014 #173

People send me results of the alerts at times. does not happen often but it happens. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #197

I strongly recommend this too. Waiting For Everyman Jan 2014 #5

Definitely. And here are some tips BlueStreak Jan 2014 #88

But how can people be acting together? DU has thousands of members. 7962 Jan 2014 #92

While I did use the jury blacklist feature, Jenoch Jan 2014 #25

Good for you, and I mean it. I am not that disciplined and some times feel compelled to rhett o rick Jan 2014 #127

Hey I have 13 as well. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #15

How do you and justin know when alerts are sent on you? Bluenorthwest Jan 2014 #174

I have a full blacklist. MineralMan Jan 2014 #11

they should just disqalify your Ignore list from juries Skittles Jan 2014 #12

I agree. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #16

And frequently check the status of those on your list pintobean Jan 2014 #18

The thing is that juries can be rigged and the outcomes can be wildly different davidpdx Jan 2014 #40

There are no DU rules unless you are talking about TOS violations and juries don't deal with those. Kaleva Jan 2014 #55

Please explain to me what rules juries use? davidpdx Jan 2014 #83

Nothing prevents a jury from ruling on a TOS violation Major Nikon Jan 2014 #102

Tell that to the person whom responded to me davidpdx Jan 2014 #107

TOS violations can get one banned and a jury has no authority to do that Kaleva Jan 2014 #142

I don't think anyone is claiming juries ban people Major Nikon Jan 2014 #145

There used to be a checkbox on the alert for TOS violations Kaleva Jan 2014 #176

Their own individual rules as to what they believe community standards ought to be. Kaleva Jan 2014 #136

If they like the person who was alerted on, the post stands. QC Jan 2014 #167

This.I've lost count of the number of comments sufrommich Jan 2014 #168

Yes, I've seen a lot of those. QC Jan 2014 #170

Agree. nt sufrommich Jan 2014 #171

I've alerted on jurer number 7 a lot. Nothing ever happens. L0oniX Jan 2014 #237

How do you do that? davidpdx Jan 2014 #355

There's an alert button on the automated message pintobean Jan 2014 #362

Thanks davidpdx Jan 2014 #364

Juror rebellion is the key to bringing back the mod system. L0oniX Jan 2014 #239

I would say that in a majority of juries I served on, I didn't know the alerted on member Kaleva Jan 2014 #275

There are people I won't sit on a jury for because of this mythology Jan 2014 #380

"Rigged" Codeine Jan 2014 #62

I've never had it done to me davidpdx Jan 2014 #89

Thats a good idea. I didnt know that unhidden alerts werent notified until a juror told me. 7962 Jan 2014 #103

I think it only makes sense davidpdx Jan 2014 #108

Does that seem likely to you? Really? Orrex Jan 2014 #267

How BlueCaliDem Jan 2014 #41

click on "my account" and then click on the "jury blacklist" tab quinnox Jan 2014 #44

Excellent! BlueCaliDem Jan 2014 #47

no problem quinnox Jan 2014 #48

Ah yes. The specter of alert-stalking looms large. Orrex Jan 2014 #46

PRE-cisely. I always crack a rib laughing at the folks around here panicked about Number23 Jan 2014 #69

And Skinner has said multiple times there's no alert stalking. n/t tammywammy Jan 2014 #96

That is because Skinner, as our Overlord, will never be a victim of alert stalking. RC Jan 2014 #242

I think it's because he sees the actual metrics. tammywammy Jan 2014 #269

You're absolutely right. Skinner has said that the admins now check EVERY alert sent Number23 Jan 2014 #354

You know...I had it happen to me ONCE in 12 years on this site...on ONE post. msanthrope Jan 2014 #146

I remember that hide. And it was laughable in its moronic-ness Number23 Jan 2014 #148

This has been a very helpful post and discussion. Thanks everybody. Shrike47 Jan 2014 #49

I don't know if I've even had a post alerted on for the past 1 1/2 years. Kaleva Jan 2014 #54

That "certain contingent" must be absolutely HUGE groundloop Jan 2014 #57

some jurors have a much higher percentage of serving than others quinnox Jan 2014 #60

I disagree. cyberswede Jan 2014 #70

well, sometimes it only takes one quinnox Jan 2014 #71

Yes, but a 3-3 tie stays unhidden... cyberswede Jan 2014 #72

ok, fine, but let me tell you, you won't talk me out of using the blacklist! quinnox Jan 2014 #81

It's a great feature, for those who want to use it. cyberswede Jan 2014 #200

Never mind that the alerter thinks the post should be hidden so it's really 4-3 on a 3-3. n/t seaglass Jan 2014 #177

If you're going to count the alerter, why not count the poster, yielding 4-4? JVS Jan 2014 #371

true. n/t seaglass Jan 2014 #375

I'm noticing the same pattern - I don't keep the jury results so I can't count them, petronius Jan 2014 #76

I was thinking that myself earlier today. That jury calls seemed to have slowed recently. Kaleva Jan 2014 #256

Skinner has stated outright that there is no alert-stalking Orrex Jan 2014 #100

I don't believe that's what he said Major Nikon Jan 2014 #111

ugh, really... look again "The alert stalking claim is bogus." PeaceNikki Jan 2014 #114

"the system has shown itself repeatedly to be self-regulating" Major Nikon Jan 2014 #116

I would say the same to all of you. Bo. Gus. PeaceNikki Jan 2014 #119

Bogus that it is a problem Major Nikon Jan 2014 #138

He can state it till he turns blue. But he set up this random system kcr Jan 2014 #192

You are more forgiving than I am Orrex Jan 2014 #329

Whether or not the problem actually exists isn't the point. kcr Jan 2014 #338

In fact, I think that's exactly the point. Orrex Jan 2014 #344

But the jury doesn't deliberate kcr Jan 2014 #349

Juries don't *collectively* deliberate Orrex Jan 2014 #352

"The fact that jurors don't collectively deliberate is immaterial. " kcr Jan 2014 #353

This makes no sense to me Orrex Jan 2014 #361

Why is the fact that jury members can't influence each other irrelevant in this discussion? kcr Jan 2014 #363

You're kind of all over the map here Orrex Jan 2014 #365

No, I just think you're misunderstanding me completely kcr Jan 2014 #368

That's the part about advocating for the paranoid Orrex Jan 2014 #369

No kcr Jan 2014 #370

I believe the jury blacklist option has been around since the beginning of the jury system Kaleva Jan 2014 #285

You cannot even begin to compare what happens on DU to a jury. kcr Jan 2014 #290

Real juries are not required to justify or explain their vote either. Kaleva Jan 2014 #300

But they do deliberate. kcr Jan 2014 #306

Not really. Can be one guy running multiple IDs. Festivito Jan 2014 #97

And that's probably the best way of avoiding being alerted on. Kaleva Jan 2014 #254
