Thus, exactly the same post on Sanders is allowed to stand with gazillion recs

Last edited Sat Feb 27, 2016, 01:49 PM - Edit history (1)

but when it is on this group - with the name reversed - it is hidden?

Hosts, please show this to the administration. Not that it will make a difference.

I don’t know if there are others but they managed to get me banned from serving. If they have done that to a number of us, then the juries would be skewed. No way to prove anything!

... and they know it. That's why it's a system weakness that's easy for them to abuse.

Note to Jury: Skinner himself had noted the ratio imbalance on more than one occasion and has already acknowledged that changes need to be made. I'm not making this up.

....supporters, mathematically the average jury is made up of 5.95 (6) Sanders supporters and 1.05 (1) Clinton supporter.

No wonder one post linked in the OP was hidden, the other wasn't.

about a group. But Skinner is aghast. Absolutely not, he decreed.

frankly, alerts on any posts in this group should only go to juries comprised of members of this group.

We, together - under his reasoning - are the ones best suited to know the community standards of this group's board.

I've seen several posts here that pass juridical muster the first time they're alerted on, then are rejuried and hidden.

Supposedly when a post get alerted a second time, the alerter gets a response that it was already been judges but that it would be passed to the administrators.

It's never been done before and it almost certainly wouldn't work, but when you point this out the response is always, "we're going to make history!" Well yeah, the Republican candidate getting 522 electoral votes in November WOULD be pretty historic...

a little bit ago about a post riversedge made in reply. I, of course, voted to leave it. So did 3 others, so the post was actually left alone for a change!
