In reply to the discussion: Should Democratic Underground switch to seven-person juries? [View all]herding cats
(19,569 posts)They obviously think something is amiss with the post, thus their alert. Yet three people disagree with them, even though three agree, and the post stands. If you count the alerters opinion, hiding was the majority opinion. So, they feel like they were robbed somehow of their justice.
I can see how some would think it would be worth trying a seven member jury to see if that satisfies more members. However, I don't know if we really need more posts hidden. Disagreeing on something shouldn't be hide worthy and I'm concerned this may shift things a bit more toward that type of hide.
I voted yes, but if too many posts which aren't honestly over the top or rude start being hidden, I am hoping you'll reverse the change.
Overall the system seems to work pretty well. It's not perfect, of course, but what is?
