31. I don't know about the spat of bad decisions

Jun 2012

Because I'm not on every single day. I may log on one day and not log on again for a week.

There was one particular thread today that people were upset about. I understand people are trying to alert on an OP, but if a jury doesn't go their way it's no reason to throw a fit.

I've served on two juries, one quite a long time ago and one tonight. The jury I was on tonight wasn't about an OP but a response and it was 6-0. People can piss and moan about it, but 6 people chose to hide a post that was as bad as the OP itself.

Too many moderators on DU2 moderated with their pet cause front and center Sen. Walter Sobchak Jun 2012 #19

The moderators' job was to determine whether an alerted post broke the rules as they were written. Rhiannon12866 Jun 2012 #45
