71. You can sense people, those who would carry a vendetta or tag team--add them to your Jury Blacklist!

I am a staunch EFF supporter, and censoring someone is only meant for the extreme.


I have noticed certain people would camp on OPs at the time people were being juried and silenced.

I've placed those people in my Jury Blacklist and things have been pretty quiet lately.


Someone should really only be able to flag once or twice a month, and participate on a jury once a week. If something is egregiously written, others on the site will flag it and vote on it. This would eliminate the roving death squads and prevent people from becoming self-anointed cops.


Another wrote below, that this is one of the only sites they get OPs and posts taken down. I agree. This is the only site that I have had content taken down. When I had my first one, I had already been participating in various on-line boards since the mid-90s. I have never had a post taken down before that, and I took offence to it. Sometimes I write with nuance, with snark and with pointed replies, and while I acknowledge that it might not come across that way on the receiver's side, I still can not get past the point that this is the first site to ban my posts in 20 years of online activity. I was seriously debating about maintaining a paid star, or just shift to freeloading, but my personal belief that one should pay for things they use prevented that.
