I've had two in less than an hour before, and gone days without any. And while I haven't counted, I don't think my batting average on juries is particularly good: I'm often a losing Leave vote...

Our Community Standards

It is the responsibility of all DU members to participate on our discussion forums in a manner
that promotes a positive atmosphere and encourages good discussions among a diverse
community of people holding a broad range of center-to-left viewpoints. Members should
refrain from posting messages on DU that are disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top,
or otherwise inappropriate. These broad community standards of behavior are maintained though
the combined efforts of members posting and serving on citizen juries, using their own best judgment
to decide what behavior is appropriate and what is not.

Members who cannot hold themselves to a high standard risk having their posts hidden by a jury
of their peers, and being blocked out of discussion threads they disrupt. Those who exhibit a pattern
of willful disregard for the Community Standards risk being in violation of our Terms of Service, and
could have their posting privileges revoked

I could have sworn it said blocked by jury, but now I see it.

I am still learning this forum, maybe I need to shut up and just observe a while.

And drink more coffee before I post in the morning.

jury system sucks

never an opportunity for the "accused" to defend themselves.

Even third world countries make at least a face game of letting the accused defend themselves.

because I haven't been involved in those discussions. The software won't let you judge a post if you've been in conversation with that poster in the past 24 hours, I believe.
