8. Just give it time

Mar 2016

I had the same experience initially (long hiatus, lots of jury requests on returning), but for the price of speaking my mind they got me off the jury list, and quick. 4000+ posts with maybe one(?) hide among them, and then like 3 hides in as many days.

I, like many others here, have been driven down to 0% chance of serving on a jury.

It is depressing to see how many regular posters in this group are down to 0% chance of serving on a jury.

Yet another way the current jury system is broken - if you are a HRC supporter, you are very unlikely to be judged by a jury of your peers.

It's okay - Skinner is sleeping through this all. He'll get to it at some point in July. Once most of us have been driven away from the site.
