In the old days, we had mods here on DU.

12. It's not the system that sucks...

it's people's attitudes.

There are two main sides...

On one side: the "I'm-so-persecuted" types

On the other side: the "I'm entitled to post any damned thing I want to" types.

With a few in the middle willing to take responsibility for their actions.


Why was the mod system changed to the jury system? As I recall, it was because the admins and mods got sick and tired of accusations of favoritism from the mods.

Fine. Now the mods are gone.

No matter what system we have here, people are going to wretch and whine.

Someone wants to see an option for juries to have mods check questionable posts. How would that work? If four people out of six check that option, it will go to the mods, who make a decision that a jury felt it couldn't make on its own? Here's a tip...a juror who can't decide how to rule has the option to get the hell off the jury. Imagine that!

So, say a jury sends a post to a mod to "check" and the mod decides contrary to what the alerter wanted. OMG!!!!! FAVORITISM!!!!

So not only are jurors being called out and insulted, now the mods are back to being insulted as well.


No. It's not the system. It's people's shitty, childish attitudes.
