Sat on my 500th jury today. How many have you served on here at DU?

[hrmjustin]

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

1. 160

I'm a slacker! Oops, now it's 161

[Auggie]

2. 233

Hadn't any idea it was that much!

[bluedigger]

3. 324

I've been swimming against the tide a lot more than I used to, lately.

[pipi_k]

4. 207

[elleng]

5. 597!

[malthaussen]

6. Just sat on my 79th...

... so it will be awhile before I approach 500.

7. Been asked about half a dozen times, including next month

but I have yet to serve.

The problem seems to be when I tell them that I write and edit for a living. I've been advised that lawyers don't like jurors with enhanced creative and problem-solving skills.

P.S. A few weeks ago, I watched a true crime show where the lawyer said they should dismiss one potential juror because "overweight women are VERY unsympathetic."

8. 81 - Am I on some kind of blacklist

Maybe a lot of people have me blocked from being their juror.

[hrmjustin]

13. I doubt many have you on a jury blacklist.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Omigod--671!

[Brother Buzz]

10. I stopped for a quick bit to eat and you lapped me!

[hrmjustin]

14. Wow! that is alot.

[mrmpa]

11. 124 almost 1/4 of what you have served...I salute you. eom

[In_The_Wind]

12. Only 288

Chance of serving on Juries: 100%
Number of times served on Juries: 288


Maybe, I'm sleeping at the wrong time or on too many jury blacklist.

[hrmjustin]

15. Doubt many have you on their jury blacklist.

I wonder if many have me on theirs.

[In_The_Wind]

65. Up to 290 as of this morning.

Seriously, I wouldn't guess very many have you on jury blacklist.

[RebelOne]

16. 305 times. n/t

[Ptah]

17. 821

[hrmjustin]

18. Wow! I think you served the most.

[Ron Obvious]

19. 149

For what it's worth. I'm a pretty lenient juror, I think, erring on the side of free speech.

[yewberry]

20. 139, but I'm not a star member anymore.

So, less likely to serve on a jury.

[LeftofObama]

21. 176

I thought it was more than that.

[EvilAL]

22. 20.

It went the opposite of what I voted for on probably 16 of those... hahahh
I probably commented a couple of times and that's it. Do you always comment? How many don't go your way?

[hrmjustin]

23. Most go the way I vote. I comment about half the time I sit on a jury.

I suppose I don't comment when I think it is clear why I vote a certain way.

[EvilAL]

24. So if you vote to leave/hide

and it's muddy you'll make a comment about it?

[hrmjustin]

25. Usually yes.

[redwitch]

26. 125

I had no idea! It's pretty much always the same type of case. Someone is rude for no real reason and someone rightfully takes exception to the rudeness. I would guess that is the case in 70% of the juries I've served on. If people would be more polite DU and the world would be happier places. I think.

[hrmjustin]

27. Most of what I serve on is someone being rude.

[Paulie]

28. 403

Not as many now since the new anti troll systems were put in (named removed and last days posts deleted)

[progressoid]

29. 268 And I was right every time!

Actually, I would say 80-90% of the time we agreed.

[progressoid]

30. Have you ever opted out?

[hrmjustin]

32. Once but that was due to a glitch with the jury system.

[progressoid]

33. I opted out once when I was DUing on my phone in a restaurant.

Also it had been a long day and I was too tired to try to figure out what the hell the alert was all about. So I said, "screw it, let hrmjustin or California Peggy take care of this one".

[hrmjustin]

34. I have to say since they announced the new changes to rules here last year I have been on less

juries.

[Moondog]

31. 288

[cyberswede]

35. 595... But a lot less frequently lately.

[hrmjustin]

36. Me too. I was sitting on 2 a day before the announcement of the new rules.

Now I sit on a jury once a day and sometimes twice.

[rug]

37. 557

[A HERETIC I AM]

38. Anyone who has served more times than I have is spending entirely too much time......

in front of their computer!




And FWIW, I've averaged just over 3 posts a day for the 10 years and 6 months I've been a member. If you're on DU a whole lot more, and post a shitload more, you're gonna get more Jury requests.

Just sayin.

[hrmjustin]

39. This little tablet is great but yes I do post a lot.

[A HERETIC I AM]

40. Well, in all honesty, I had an average of 2.75 for years.

And I mean YEARS!

One of the reasons I've cracked 3 posts a day is because I put up threads on occasion in the Cooking and Baking groups which have garnered a lot of replies. I tend to respond to the replies. I also noticed I am putting up a lot more OP's over the last couple years than I did before.

The other reason is I have an iPhone, an iPad and a mobile hotspot now, which I didn't for most of my tenure here. I am a trucker and the hotspot lets me get a 4G signal almost any time I want nationwide. - No, I don't post while I'm driving, for those concerned.

I didn't mean to sound snarky. If you enjoy the board and desire to prolifically participate, by all means do so.

I do wonder about people that average over 60 posts a day though, and there are a few of them. It makes me curious if they actually read anything, or if they are just waiting for the next opportunity to say something. It also makes me wonder about the size of their behinds!

And I am no Slim Jim, by any stretch! One must go outside and walk on occasion, if at all possible!



On edit to answer your question; 272. But I have kept my 100% eligibility status for most of the time the Jury system has been in place. Translation;? I cheat!

[hrmjustin]

41. You weren't snarky. I got this tablet from my sister and now I post even more now.

[LumosMaxima]

42. I think I'm up to 75. nt

[femmocrat]

43. 255, but I turn some down.

Especially if they are about guns.

[amerikat]

44. 150(nt)

[mnhtnbb]

45. only 88

but I'm away from the computer a lot during the day.

[rurallib]

46. more than I want

I think many times we go overboard on alerts.

[Brigid]

47. 227.

Less than I might have guessed, actually.

[antiquie]

48. 210 and I opt out if it's Gungeon related.

I always leave an explanation and have juried with the majority more than 95% of the time.

[kwassa]

49. Only 44, and I've been here 9 years.

and about 13,000 fewer posts than you have done in two years!

there have been long stretches where I have not been very active, though.

[awoke_in_2003]

50. 89...

that seems a bit low. I had a 100% chance of jury duty not long ago, but then I went a month or two without a star, and I had a couple posts hidden. One was a justified hide (even though the person was an asshat) and the other was nit picky.

[pintobean]

51. 329

[PasadenaTrudy]

52. 23

I'm just a baby, lol!

[orleans]

53. is there a count of these going on? n/t

[antiquie]

59. From your profile: 16 ~ nt

[KG]

54. zero

[davidpdx]

55. Only 61

[Sancho]

56. 324...

I wonder how many times I voted with the majority?

No matter, the jury system on DU demonstrates why it's so hard to convict killers in Florida with our fuzzy laws. It's hard enough with a clear standard.

[azurnoir]

57. 587 I wonder what the record is? n/t

[hrmjustin]

60. Not sure but 821 is the most on this thread.

[DFW]

58. Zero

Soon after the jury system was introduced, I made my first and only complaint about some obnoxious right wing troll who came to "visit." I was told by the jury to shut up and grow a thicker skin. The troll in question was banned within a few hours, but I got my taste of the DU jury system, and it was enough.

[Scuba]

62. 399

[warrior1]

61. 397

but I've declined in quite of few.

[NutmegYankee]

63. 293

[doc03]

64. 32 and they are getting rediculous anymore, everything seems hurtful and affensive to some
