I've lost faith in the jury system completely.

I do exercise selective outrage. I do discriminate based on reputation, past history, and context.

I would do the same for you , if it came to my attention.

Not all members of DU are equally deserving. They gain and lose points based on their post history.

That's all we have to go by.

when you post a spoiler, it is. She could have quickly changed it, btw. KittyWampus Jun 2014 #18

That's not why they were hidden. pintobean Jun 2014 #69

I don't think 4 jurors and 1 alerter is enough of a sample to say "DU has officially lost it" arcane1 Jun 2014 #70

And yet, it's the fraction of a fraction that mattered, isn't is? Xipe Totec Jun 2014 #74

who cares ? people get bad hides all the time and they don't start multiple threads about it JI7 Jun 2014 #26

Hey! I agree with you for once!! :-) nt Logical Jun 2014 #28

The alert problem has gotten out of hand on DU ... pbmus Jun 2014 #31

the problem has already existed in other cases but people didn't start multiple threads over it JI7 Jun 2014 #38

what, she did not ask me to start a thread ... this is me looking at DU pbmus Jun 2014 #44

so what ? others have gotten hides for stupid shit also, and she had many other hides, it wasn't JI7 Jun 2014 #48

I think 4-3 hides should hide, but should not count towards time outs. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #33

and someone should look at the alert and say BS or no BS before the community looks at it ... pbmus Jun 2014 #36

What? When did this happen? IronGate Jun 2014 #34
