13. It is randomly selected from among those who are eligible to serve.

There is a detailed explanation of the selection process here: Our Community Moderating System

Immediately after a Community Standards alert is sent our software begins to seat a Jury by randomly flagging members who are currently browsing DU. Members are excluded from serving if:

• they have their "Willingness to serve on a DU Jury" option set to "Unwilling"
• they are ignoring the alerted member
• they are blocking DU mail from the alerted member
• they have replied to the alerted member within the last 24 hours
• they have alerted on the alerted member within the last 24 hours
• they have posted in the thread which contains the alerted post
• they are on the alerted member's Jury Blacklist

After checking to see if a potential Juror is not excluded, the software then does a virtual "dice roll" against the member's chance of serving. Every member's chance of serving is represented as a percentage and is publicly displayed on their Profile page. A member's maximum possible chance of serving is 100%, and their lowest possible chance of serving is 0%.


People might not be aware of some of the things that exclude you from a jury, like the fact that you will not be selected if you've replied to the alerted member within the last 24 hours.
