The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsJust served on my 200th Jury. How many have you served on here at DU?
How often are you called? I get 2 a day on most days now.
Again note to fellow hosts if you think this is not a good lounge thread I will get rid of it.

They can expect my invoice in the mail.

(8,462 posts)Was doing two a day for a while. Now I go a couple days or so between. But I'm not on as much.

(26,602 posts)I've had two in less than an hour before, and gone days without any. And while I haven't counted, I don't think my batting average on juries is particularly good: I'm often a losing Leave vote...
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)559 got to be close to the record.
petronius
(26,602 posts)for an important decision ... it picks someone else. But I'm on the list for all the other alerts - that's why I have so many...
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)You should get paid for your jury service. Here in NY you get $40 a day on jury service.

(71,265 posts)SteveG
(3,109 posts)And I don't mind doing it when asked. In my opinion a post has to be really over the top for me vote to block it, but I have voted to block some posts.

(33,032 posts)Our Community Standards
It is the responsibility of all DU members to participate on our discussion forums in a manner
that promotes a positive atmosphere and encourages good discussions among a diverse
community of people holding a broad range of center-to-left viewpoints. Members should
refrain from posting messages on DU that are disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top,
or otherwise inappropriate. These broad community standards of behavior are maintained though
the combined efforts of members posting and serving on citizen juries, using their own best judgment
to decide what behavior is appropriate and what is not.
Members who cannot hold themselves to a high standard risk having their posts hidden by a jury
of their peers, and being blocked out of discussion threads they disrupt. Those who exhibit a pattern
of willful disregard for the Community Standards risk being in violation of our Terms of Service, and
could have their posting privileges revoked

(6,324 posts)Shared my experience with a previous job and it was hidden by jury. Guess I need to learn what is ok here pretty quick.

(6,324 posts)I could have sworn it said blocked by jury, but now I see it.
I am still learning this forum, maybe I need to shut up and just observe a while.
And drink more coffee before I post in the morning.
maddezmom
(135,060 posts)You are confusing me here.
Lee-Lee
(6,324 posts)it was another post, and I wasn't seeing mine and thought that was it.
Like I said, I need more coffee. Apologies for wasting everyone's time with my stupidity.

It's so nice when a newbie wanders into The DU Lounge.

jury system sucks
never an opportunity for the "accused" to defend themselves.
Even third world countries make at least a face game of letting the accused defend themselves.
not here

(71,265 posts)Few, in fact. I'm sure most have me on their blacklists.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)BainsBane
(53,035 posts)because I haven't been involved in those discussions. The software won't let you judge a post if you've been in conversation with that poster in the past 24 hours, I believe.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Also I used to get i/p alerts more often but not so much now.
BainsBane
(53,035 posts)Those were always the most confusing.

(71,265 posts)things of late.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)some new posters were writing, and also I got some trolls saying nasty things to me. I think they came from the cave.
