Hi

7. I haven't had any problems but I've observed some

Thanks for your post. I love the idea of a jury system but my sense is its only partially working and your comments certainly confirm what I expected was the case.

I wish I could remember an article I read about why most forums have problems. The basic theme was that moderation or juries focus on the positiveness of the comments and not on the content or lack therefore. Intelligence, honesty or factual accuracy are not a criteria for posters or judges so it degrades the whole forum in a multitude of ways but this forum does seems to be better than most.

Of course, the other common problem is bullying cliques. Moderators & juries either don't know how to or are not interested in reigning them in even though it's extremely easy to do so IMO.
