I want to talk about the Jury service format.

3. my opinion

if something is egregious enough that it is voted 'clearly breaks' (by myself or others serving jury) then it probably deserves to be slapped down. Full stop. There is a process for appeal, as well as several warnings before privileges are revoked. There might be occasional instances of injustice - but I think that can be countered by acknowledging that no system is perfect, nor is one likely to be designed. And, bottom line - if there isn't moderation and penalty meted out for infraction - the site would quickly descend into chaos - serving no one. In large part I think the system (as it sits now) serves about as well as we can hope for.

(there is also an option for 'with the intention to disrupt' - for dealing with people that are intent on abusing the alerts system. go ahead and use it if someone is just flat out being a jerk .. )
