Election 2016: Hillary Must Sever All Ties to Obama’s Economic Team

[NanceGreggs]

125. Thanks, trumad!

This is the third time (that I know of) where a juror has said "I don't like NanceGreggs, so I'm voting to hide."

I've also seen jury results where jurors have said, "I like (the poster alerted on), so I won't vote to hide anything they say."

I note here that Juror #2 "didn't even read the alert or the post in question."

So much for the vaunted jury system - ya know, the one Skinner keeps insisting is reflective of "community standards". It is, and always has been, reflective of the personal likes/dislikes of individual jurors, and has nothing to do with any "standards" whatsoever.

I couldn't care less about hides - but many people here do. It is unfortunate that their posts are being judged on the basis of how liked/disliked they are by jurors, rather than on the content of their posts.

As for the hidden posts still being read by the curious, that's just common sense. Nothing is more tantalizing than a post that says "we don't want people reading this". It has been common knowledge to everyone that all one has to do to read such posts is to register on DU - which explains why you see new registrants here every day, but never see many of them posting. They're just signing up so they can read the "hides", in the same way people used to register in order to read the Meta Forum when it still existed.
