74. The jury system is fair, probably one of the best features

Nov 2013

of the DU. I posted a thread that was hidden by a jury 4-2. It was my 99th post and I was banned for a week or so. I was offered the chance to email Skinner with potential reasons to reinstate my account. So I did, and much to my surprise I was given a second chance. Thank you Skinner.

I guess I really appreciate the second chance having been banned from another website just weeks before. Lines...lines everywhere so hard to stay between the lines.

Thank you DU!

Wrong again. MannyGoldstein Nov 2013 #15

No, it's obvious at this point that you are only here to be divisive. KittyWampus Nov 2013 #24

Couldn't be more obvious. Number23 Nov 2013 #67

So you respond to idiotic tasteless threads? Wow ...looks more like you are stalking Manny. L0oniX Nov 2013 #30

LOL. I pretty much ignore the divisiveness and antagonistic crap he posts. So is that "stalking"? KittyWampus Nov 2013 #49

Perhaps a map would help. woo me with science Nov 2013 #54

Hahaha Oilwellian Nov 2013 #69

I was a star member for years Oilwellian Nov 2013 #23

What problem? A Meta-thread gets alerted and stays in GD because those on the jury decide they like KittyWampus Nov 2013 #25

It's quite obvious Oilwellian Nov 2013 #28

So you have no problem with an OBVIOUS Meta-thread because you like Manny- KittyWampus Nov 2013 #39

I have a problem with the entire jury system Oilwellian Nov 2013 #47

So what is your solution to the jury 'problem'? randome Nov 2013 #71

The Alert system needs to be reined in LittleBlue Nov 2013 #29

The admins have said repeatedly that alert stalking is just not an issue. tammywammy Nov 2013 #38

You don't need to be an alert stalker to make bad alerts LittleBlue Nov 2013 #43

Admins have PPRed posters for abusing the alert system. tammywammy Nov 2013 #44

I am on MIRT and we use the alert system alot. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #70
