Does anybody else find the juries really hard to take part in. Seems like

[applegrove]

there is never enough information to make a proper decision. I bail out almost as much as I stay. I know I am a 3D person who relies on other cues rather than text, and context, but really.

[True Dough]

1. Sometimes feels a little vague

and I have second-guessed myself due to a lack of context a few times but I'm generally confident in the decisions I make. I have only bailed once or twice in about 25 to 30 trips to the jury.

2. You do much better than I do.

3. I certainly find them harder than they used to be

Lack of input from the complainant and lack of feedback creates difficulties for me.

On balance, I was more comfortable with the old system.

4. I bailed for the first time this week

But have almost bailed on about half up until now

[nolabear]

5. I was never good with multiple choice tests.

I want to know more too, or more choices. I don’t bail often but I’m not as happy with my choices, and I wish I knew the results.

6. The Bernie & Hillary ones are difficult for me to process.

7. Sometimes there is not enough context to make an informed decision

8. I just do the best I can, but I also usually wish I had more information

And I can't help looking for the results, I want to know how it turned out and if I made the right decision.

9. Yea, sometimes I'll look for results too

and today it looks like my decision was the right one

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I usually find it and think I made the right call

But often it's on one of those interminable threads that's kinda overwhelming.

[barbtries]

11. yes.

sometimes i think alerts are sent to quash valid discussion also. i always try to make a decision though and rarely bail.

12. I did 2 hung juries because of this

[Oppaloopa]

13. Lol You can tell I just woke up I meant real juries

[murielm99]

14. We should not have juries at all.

I do serve on them, but I think it would be better if we had mods.

[FSogol]

15. Not really, if I don't understand why it was alerted on, I let

It stay. Too often the jury system is used because poster x hates poster y.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. That's A Good Policy

Pretty much what I do, too!

And I totally agree that some alerts are likely a personal beef!

[TreasonousBastard]

17. Not really. My default is to leave the post unless there is something obviously wrong with it....

Sure, some bad posts will sneak through, but better that than hiding what turn out to be OK posts and screwing the poster with hides.

And, as has been noted, too many alerts are for personal reasons.

[left-of-center2012]

18. I like serving on juries and try to be fair

But sometime I wonder about posts I 'alert' on.

One was an obvious slur against Jews and I alerted on 'no bias or prejudice'
yet the post stayed.
