OMG I've been hitting the wrong button in jury duty

[happybird]

for months.

I thought the 2nd option was “Close call, but doesn’t quite break the rule.” I choose the 2nd option a lot.

I’ve only ever voted to hide a post twice ... or so I thought. Got called to jury so much during primary season, I could tap the correct button in my sleep. Then we had a long lull on flagged posts. When frequent jury duty fired up again, my dumbass didn’t bother to refresh my memory on the options.

I’m so sorry. I’m extra sorry to anyone who may have had a post hidden because of my voting errors. I promise I will do better from here on out.

5. Paper ballots! n/t

[getagrip_already]

6. Ballot Fraud! We demand a do-over vote!

But without allowing any on the other side to vote again. They already voted once. Now it's our turn.....

11. Do you remember one that involved a gif?

[happybird]

12. Yep

Sorry. That one got what I thought was “close call but doesn’t...”

[Dream Girl]

13. I wonder if I've been doing that?

I always assumed it was the same. I’ll have to check.

14. Personally -

I hope your error hid (or saved me from an alert timeout on) homophobic or transphobic posts.

I've become resigned to being on alert time-out a lot, since I don't think such posts belong on DU - but I also know that far too many believe such posts are hunky dory. Frequently enough that the jury is composed of such people. I haven't stopped alerting - hoping that we will eventually live up to our ideals - but knowng that chance of hiding such posts are rare, and as frequently as not I'd be on an alert timeout.

15. Nah! Not to worry

You're the member of the squad that gets a blank ...
And if not -- they probably deserved it! --- ---

16. I accidently "reported" a post on another site the other day.

Realized what I did but couldn't figure out how to undo it.

I feel terrible. I hope no one suffered consequences.

17. 3rd option poker. usually best

18. Isn't the second button close call, but it breaks the rules?

I always read the buttons to find one that matches my decision. I don’t try to remember them.

[happybird]

19. Yep

But I read it as “... it doesn’t break the rules.”

I don’t know if the entire sentence appears on the button when using a computer? I only have a phone and an iPad, no computer or laptop, and on those only half of the sentence shows. What I see is “Close call, but it”

21. I use an iPhone for DU, the whole decision appears for me.

Regardless, I always read all the choices then select the one that matches my decision. I have made a mistake when in a hurry, realize and have to back up to correct it.

24. I wonder why they appear differently?

Just had jury duty, took my time and chose my vote very carefully. Here’s a screen shot of what I always see:



This is on my iPad.

25. Maybe your phone's format.

Mine appear as a table, with the full text for each decision option.

I am not an electronic/software person, maybe someone with hardware and software skills can explain why my phone format looks different from yours.

20. I'm reporting this thread!

You better hope that you don't get you as your juror!

[Codeine]

22. I'm not going to concede my hides!

You’ll have to ban me kicking and screaming!

23. The members who ended up on FFR status cannot respond but I will thank you for them
