I just served on a jury for the most heinous post I've ever seen here

[Iris]

How do I get MIR involved?

1. MIRT will be involved.

And that message was so precisely nasty that I honestly believe it was made just stir shit.
I sincerely doubt it was a Bernie supporter.

[Iris]

3. I hope you are right but if that was a troll, s/he had to be

hanging around long enough to know some history, i.e., who has been banned and why.

[djean111]

7. That's why I think it was a false flag.

Pushing all the usual buttons, almost surgically. All that post lacked was to be signed "BernieBro".

12. "usual buttons"

Would love a screenshot since that seems to be language for "hating on long standing DUers."

13. I was on the jury, did not save anything. I delete pretty much all mail after reading.

By 'usual buttons", I mean it was rather short, but had everything in it that has been attributed to Bernie's supporters. Everything.
Almost cartoon like, really. I did not take it seriously, voted to hide, of course, and was confident that MIRT would be swift.
I am betting that a screen shot is circulating, ginning up outrage at Bernie's supporters in general, though!
It was a nasty piece of work.

14. Odds are not.

People don't generally make screenshots, and given how bad it sounded, I think it probably got 7 quick hides by everyone involved. After that it's gone forever.

But I'm open to PMs if anyone wants to send them.

"usual buttons" stood out to me though because I don't think words mean much, but calling out fellow DUers would trigger people (rightly so, I got banned from the Sanders group for disavowing a now banned troll for calling out Cha and being totally hateful toward her). People say a lot of nasty stuff toward Clinton, and I mean a lot, and it is allowed. Only thing I can think that results in a 7-0 hide is callouts on DUers.

Haven't seen or heard of a 7-0 hide in a long time. 'cept for that time I told a nasty poster to FU for their really un-DU-like comment (only 7-0 hide I've ever gotten and it was deserved and I asked for it short of telling the jury to hide me).

2. If it was the same one I was on, MIR t already nuked 'em.

[Iris]

4. Probably. I just saw that the person is gone.

5. If it's so bad that it was 7-0, they'll get notified

If the person had under 100 posts, they'll get notified. Otherwise, look for the latest MIRT list and send mail to someone on it (eg someone you know. Especially if you know they're around at this time of day)

6. If it is under 100 posts, we only get it if it is hidden.

Which is why it is important for jurors to actually hide those posts and not "leave it" for MIRT. If 4 jurors vote to leave it, we don't see it.

9. thanks for the info.

I've only gone beyond the jury once and couldn't remember what I did then.

10. If it is a newbie of "concern" then contact MIRT via PM.

If it is something as vile as what you witnessed, hide it! If it comes back "not hidden" for some reason, you can contact admin by alerting on the jury results, or you can contact a MIRT member.

That one is a constant pain in our collective asses!

[Iris]

15. Thanks for your help. I seem to get sporadic spurts of jury duty so am a little rusty each time!

I'm glad the system worked this time.

[Iris]

8. it was 7-0 and the person is gone.

I thought the list was my option but wondered if there was some other way. Thanks!

11. Good.
