I've been invited several times to be a judge (or something like that), but . . .

2. I assume you have been asked to serve on a jury

after a post has been alerted. First, the time commitment is very brief. You will be given the post that has been alerted as well as the immediately preceding posts for context. It generally takes only a few minutes to read this and make a decision whether the alerted post should be hidden or left standing. Jury service is anonymous so no will know that you served or how you voted.

After you have read the posts, you will again have the ability to opt out if you are uncomfortable judging the posts. Serving on a jury is an opportunity to serve our community by keeping our posts within the TOS policies as well as insuring that our discussion are welcoming to all posters.
