1. I just served on a jury for

that post. Waiting to see if it was hidden.

16. It was... Thank You!

2. OK, this is weird.... I clicked on the link, and it says "Your alert was sent."

I didn't alert on it! I was wondering if I accidentally clicked, but it would take more than one click to alert, wouldn't it??

Is this a known glitch?

[DesertRat]

4. No, I see that too

The link was copied after someone alerted on the post.

[BootinUp]

6. yeah, my fault there. Anyways, it got hidden.

[DesertRat]

8. Thank you for alerting on that trash

10. Actually the link itself is to the "alert abuse" button on the post.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=thread&address=12511873800&alert=op#

That specific section alerts the post.

[BootinUp]

11. Fixed it. sorry.

[DemonGoddess]

3. Looks like more than one person alerted on it

I always see that message when there's multiple alerts.

5. It got hidden

Good!

[DesertRat]

7. Thank you to that jury!

9. It seems like more posts that should be hidden are being hidden lately.

(at least when I consider the juries I have been on)

Maybe reality is setting in a bit?

17. Or maybe people got fired/let go

18. Skinner often reviews jury results, you know. He said so.

Apparently, jurors who approve of things that should OBVIOUSLY be hidden (and vice versa) will have their jury privileges suspended.

I'm guessing that the frivolous alerters won't suffer any consequences, but those jurors who enable it will be subject to penalties.

20. WTF is with Juror #5? n/t

[hrmjustin]

14. I see people's true colors and their slips are showing at this time.

Good people are getting desperate and those here to disrupt will show themselves.

It is hard to tell who fits in what category but for me reading DU since the hard fought NY primary has been much harder than anything posted before it.

DU is at a crossroads now and I don't know what is going to happen. But the writing is on the wall that people here will say anything to bring Hillary down before the convention.

DU is a buzz kill now and I think it is best for me not to engage them. They will only try to Dampen my enthusiasm.

Don't be surprised during May that you only see me post a few times. Thr silly season on DU is in high gear and I want no part of it.
