We are making some changes to the moderating/jury system. (THIS IS IMPORTANT.) [View all] Skinner Sep 2013 OP

thanks for all your hard work Voice for Peace Sep 2013 #1

+1 Scuba Sep 2013 #100

+1 Plucketeer Sep 2013 #268

+1 Duval Sep 2013 #390

Looks like the best addition to DU3 since it's creation. Rex Sep 2013 #2

Thanks for these changes. They look like they'll help a lot... CaliforniaPeggy Sep 2013 #3

Great. More rules. Dawgs Sep 2013 #4

What "rules?" This is community moderation--it's a good thing. MADem Sep 2013 #191

Thanks for the info! Brigid Sep 2013 #5

This looks great, but... cynatnite Sep 2013 #6

No shit. Dawgs Sep 2013 #13

5 in 90 days -- that seems generous to me! karynnj Sep 2013 #72

Particularly in post-Meta DU, that seems REALLY generous. stevenleser Sep 2013 #91

Or you've been singled out for bullying. Just sayin. nm rhett o rick Sep 2013 #154

If you're "singled out" by five randomly-selected juries the problem's probably in the mirror. (nt) Posteritatis Sep 2013 #186

So it's the victim's fault? It isnt the juries that send the alerts. rhett o rick Sep 2013 #197

If that many juries agree? Then of course it's the "victim's" fault. (nt) Posteritatis Sep 2013 #203

I disagree. It's never the fault of a victim of bullying. rhett o rick Sep 2013 #213

I agree. I've only had one hidden and it was the most childish thing to do it. 7962 Sep 2013 #249

I believe most jury decisions are honest and fair. But I have been on the receiving end rhett o rick Sep 2013 #252

Agreed, somewhat. I made the mistake nightscanner59 Sep 2013 #279

I don't have any problem with "leaving" a post when I feel the alert is bogus. winter is coming Sep 2013 #205

Yes, but if enough alerts are made on a person, it only takes 5 bogus to shut them up. rhett o rick Sep 2013 #218

Really? Grateful for Hope Sep 2013 #226

Of course. I dont approve in ANY case. I just picked an example. rhett o rick Sep 2013 #240

I do understand Grateful for Hope Sep 2013 #243

Good. I am not the best with getting my point across. I may fight with others rhett o rick Sep 2013 #246

I am honored to be a host along with you Grateful for Hope Sep 2013 #257

And I you. rhett o rick Sep 2013 #281

If singled out by say "a special group" and alerted on as a matter of being targeted Dragonfli Sep 2013 #261

I have seen the "Group" single out posters and attack. Many have not reacted rhett o rick Sep 2013 #276

What Clique of DU Bullies On the Road Oct 2013 #396

How many alerts do you think Manny or Pro get in a 90 day period? nm rhett o rick Oct 2013 #397

So You are Saying That Even Though Any Individual Jury is Random, On the Road Oct 2013 #398

or you are saying something wildly unpopular here, and only here pasto76 Sep 2013 #266

This has been the case with me. That's why I had left. But these new rules convinced me BlueCaliDem Oct 2013 #395

He is saying that you only get hidden if you are guilty. Those that get hidden deserve it. rhett o rick Oct 2013 #399

Absolutely. There are a few things that are certain to get a post banned BlueStreak Sep 2013 #256

I got one (my first ever) and it shocked me. I've been walking (posting) on coals since. tofuandbeer Sep 2013 #278

I am sure my reaction would be as you describe karynnj Sep 2013 #311

I just went and looked at my transparency page, because, well, hit the right nerve tavalon Sep 2013 #326

I shouldn't have been too surprised... tofuandbeer Sep 2013 #347

My issue here is.. PowerToThePeople Sep 2013 #348

I've never had one AgingAmerican Sep 2013 #298

Sounds good. SheilaT Sep 2013 #7

This sounds very reasonable. reflection Sep 2013 #8

Me too. I don't think this is what is meant (at least I hope not. I like serving on the juries!) anneboleyn Sep 2013 #117

I believe it tavalon Sep 2013 #327

I have complete faith that you are doing what you think is best for the site. Laelth Sep 2013 #9

i like the 5 deleted posts rule. La Lioness Priyanka Sep 2013 #10

Looks good. grantcart Sep 2013 #11

Thank you ! n/t SoCalDem Sep 2013 #12

let me make sure I am clear.... irisblue Sep 2013 #14

A review does not mean that anything is wrong. Curmudgeoness Sep 2013 #229

I just noticed the missing TOS box, just before your announcement. MineralMan Sep 2013 #15

Fair approach...thanks. n/t Jefferson23 Sep 2013 #16

Fantastic changes! I think these will go a long way morningfog Sep 2013 #17

Well done, Skinner. Aristus Sep 2013 #18

How is this possible? I agree with everything! stevenleser Sep 2013 #19

+1 SunSeeker Sep 2013 #26

That, coupled with every alert going to admin should head off bad-faith alerters. nt msanthrope Sep 2013 #38

Maybe, maybe not. Myrina Sep 2013 #41

There is always appeal to the admins. I think if someone gets their posting privls suspended and stevenleser Sep 2013 #52

While they didn't say that, tavalon Sep 2013 #328

I don't think it's based on alerts, just hidden posts... Wounded Bear Sep 2013 #68

Collusion of the jurists is easy Pab Sungenis Sep 2013 #121

That seems like a lot of effort cyberswede Sep 2013 #157

No. Agschmid Sep 2013 #169

I was just going to write almost word for word what you said. tavalon Sep 2013 #330

The admins would see a pattern, I think. They might be able to get away with it once. nt MADem Sep 2013 #254

10 friends compared to how many are surfing DU at a given time? Grateful for Hope Sep 2013 #394

Occasionally you get bad jury decisions. If enough alerts are thrown against the DU wall rhett o rick Sep 2013 #247

Well, that's also assuming pipi_k Sep 2013 #106

Alerts don't cause suspension of posting privileges. tblue37 Sep 2013 #235

I don't think the admins are dull of comprehension.... MADem Sep 2013 #244

I've only met two of them and the other is the actual programmer, so, tavalon Sep 2013 #333

Heh heh....I cannot take credit. MADem Sep 2013 #337

It's great and it's very old fashioned but I think that's why I like it. tavalon Sep 2013 #344

Only if juries consistently hide personal attacks Gormy Cuss Sep 2013 #94

True. I wish personal attacks were hidden more often. It's a real simple idea. Don't attack DUers... stevenleser Sep 2013 #101

Funny, there was a thread that turned into a Nance Greggs bashing committee tavalon Sep 2013 #334

Generally, personal attacks on "Gungeoneers" are a free pass. Eleanors38 Sep 2013 #171

Or a dedicated cabal of alert-bombers Pab Sungenis Sep 2013 #119

Good idea. nt Mojorabbit Sep 2013 #141

I agree. Alerters should pay a price for malicious alerts or alerts for non-aler table issues. bluestate10 Sep 2013 #176

+This. dkf Sep 2013 #269

I had the same "problem" - I *love* it. IdaBriggs Sep 2013 #123

Tell Otto goodbye for me. uppityperson Sep 2013 #42

I love OTTO! I hope this means he is not leaving us because he is needed for you know who. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #45

Ah, so only the 6-0? That is good. uppityperson Sep 2013 #53

From what I am reading now in Mirt OTTo is not going anywhere. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #57

That is good. uppityperson Sep 2013 #71

Yes a new hobby indeed. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #79

+1, I agree uppityperson Sep 2013 #90

I don't think there's anything in the OP that changes Otto's relationship with MIRT Lasher Sep 2013 #180

The only thing that changes is we have to manually ban people who just sign up and get a hidden hrmjustin Sep 2013 #181

Looks good. rrneck Sep 2013 #22

Constructive tweaks...thanks Skinner! Old and In the Way Sep 2013 #23

For each 6-0 against you, you lose privileges for a day stevenleser Sep 2013 #29

It's alerting privileges. It's happened to me. winter is coming Sep 2013 #211

People are already penalized for alerting and being shot down 6-0. Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #31

That sounds reasonable. Old and In the Way Sep 2013 #56

I agree. A group of Alerters abuse the jury system... HooptieWagon Sep 2013 #108

Yes. I have definitely noticed this while serving on juries. Some use it to "shame" anneboleyn Sep 2013 #124

But some of the alerts are spam - truedelphi Sep 2013 #164

Spam alerts are the quickest ones to jury, IMO. I don't mind getting those. winter is coming Sep 2013 #214

Thank you very much for the needed "code" - truedelphi Sep 2013 #353

Excellent! and a question... hootinholler Sep 2013 #24

Yeah, there are a few with hidden posts on the upper teens! morningfog Sep 2013 #44

Skinner, EarlG, Elad... LadyHawkAZ Sep 2013 #30

Of course this will not stop anyone who votes to hide on the basis of them not liking someone. L0oniX Sep 2013 #32

I agree PowerToThePeople Sep 2013 #286

I think that comes down to the integrity of the juror. brer cat Sep 2013 #310

Yes and boorish behavior reflects on the individuals lack of respect for others. bluesbassman Sep 2013 #50

This message was self-deleted by its author LanternWaste Sep 2013 #58

No, it reflects a realization that some people are the posting equivalent of Ted Bundy stevenleser Sep 2013 #62

To be clear... Phillyindy Sep 2013 #81

Just wanted to say... pipi_k Sep 2013 #125

Agreed... Phillyindy Sep 2013 #151

LOL. "The owner has an agenda." You make it sound like a bad thing! Hekate Sep 2013 #196

Strange... Phillyindy Sep 2013 #313

Saying they do well means they run the site well. Any comparisons to Beck are despicable. Hekate Sep 2013 #358

Lol, please... Phillyindy Sep 2013 #371

Meh. The door goes both ways. Hekate Sep 2013 #373

Ah, the old love it or leave it cop out. Phillyindy Sep 2013 #374

I think Hekate meant that both "sides" get hidden posts... cyberswede Sep 2013 #376

That would be false. Phillyindy Sep 2013 #380

Of course the owner has an agenda. It's written up succinctly in the Mission Statement. So what? cbayer Sep 2013 #208

So maybe you should just reread my comment Phillyindy Sep 2013 #314

You can read the Site Owners' TOP SECRET AGENDA right here!!! MADem Sep 2013 #248

Does the grace period effect rude juror comments? Ian David Sep 2013 #73

If you are keeping people from posting after 5 x's you should also monitor for excessive alerts. dkf Sep 2013 #74

Bans should be for 6/6 jury results. The haters are shotgunning their alerts and hoping for a jury Kolesar Sep 2013 #83

^^^ This. Monitor for excessive and vendetta alerts by concerted groups. Squinch Sep 2013 #112

Some on here just try to see how many posts they can get deleted. It's like B Calm Dec 2013 #407
