Hi folks. How many hides to somebody get before they get put in DU time out

[mahina]

?

There’s somebody I’ve been kind of curious about and I have watched their percentage of possibility to serve on jury drop to zero and hides racking up.

I have confidence in the process, just wondered. Thanks all.

3. Sorry, what is a hide?

[mahina]

4. When you get alerted on and the jury decides that what you posted goes against the terms of service

Then your post is hidden. Thanks for the question

[MLAA]

6. Thanks.

Very, very rarely when I am on a jury I am flummoxed or don’t have the time at the moment to research something pertinent to the post in question, or don’t feel I can be unbiased. When that happens I exit the jury and assume must be replaced. Has that ever happened to you?

[mahina]

9. Yes.

It’s usually pretty clear but sometimes the grey areas are too foggy.

12. The removed posts used to be "hidden," DUers could still read them, but not anymore

Now, when a post is removed by a jury it's permanently removed.

13. Thanks, Rhiannon12866!

10. I Think 5 In A 90 Day Period Gets You Tombstoned nt

11. There are no time outs anymore. 5 hidden posts in 90 days results in Flagged for Review

It used to be that a poster could come back after 1 fell off the list (after 90 days), but not anymore. 5 hides now is pretty much as good as banned unless the poster can make a convincing case to the admins that they should be reinstated.
