Another Day, Another four juries on DU

[Drahthaardogs]

Just venting. Longing for the end of the primary.

1. I am averaging two a day, sometimes 3.

I am not on here that much. I am glad to serve, and I try to be as fair as I can be, but it is wearing on me. I see things that make me pause that is for sure, on both sides really. I cannot wait for it to be over either.

2. i had to opt out of the jury system

About the 20th time i was sat for a reported post that basically said "I don't agree with Bernie/Hillary", I decided it wasn't worth wasting my time on anymore.

8. It IS a pain in the wazoo, that's for sure

My own experience is that DU is getting a rash of jury-shopping alerts. Some posters seem to be getting stalked with multiple bogus alerts, in hopes that enough of the alerts will draw a hostile jury to get the poster temporarily locked out or even banned.

29. Hang in there, Takket

Your participation in the jury system helps keep DU an honest website. I concur with your view that it can be tiresome but the benefit of your thoughtfulness helps make this a better place.

In any event, vote a straight Democratic ticket on November 8th!

3. I'm tempted to opt out of serving.

I too have been seeing a lot lately, and it's always the same soul-crushing shit from the same people. With mandatory vacations off the table, it's getting harder and harder to justify participating. I'd just as soon never read anything from GD: P again.

18. I think I'm going to do that.

It's pointless now, anyway.

20. Maybe act out a bit yourself, get a couple

hides yourself.

At 60% chance I'm currently maybe one every couple days, enough to see some of what's going on. I'll be back to 100% in a month or so (I was getting alerted a couple months ago on some things I at least didn't consider any worse than my usual), but likely by then much of this will have calmed down.

When do you consider voting to be done?

Skinner (61,725 posts): After the primaries on June 7 (California, New Jersey, etc.)...

...we will announce that the primaries are nearing an end, and members will have one more week to "get it out of their systems".

The final Democratic presidential primary is Tuesday, June 14 in Washington DC. People will have one last glorious day of primary season on June 15, and then Democratic Underground general election season begins on Thursday, June 16.

4. thank you for your service! nt

5. Couple of weeks back I got 3 in 45 minutes after midnight.

It was interesting.

[kimbutgar]

6. Me too almost once a day I serve

Sometimes I think people really have thin skins.

[Phentex]

7. At least one person got knocked out of the pool...

after 12 hides. I kept wondering how long it would take. I give points for tenacity though. I just don't have that kind of energy.

9. she had nothing else to do, sort of like a child pulling off wings

[Phentex]

13. I actually wondered what the person might do if

they had time on their hands.

23. Hell, now I'm logging on with the blue bar waiting!

A few years ago when it was sport for some here to sandbag gun-owners with five hides. Everyone began to learn the game. Now, I am a star member with a 100% rating, and I get asked all the time to be on juries, including those involving the old sand baggers! No worries, I treat them better than I was treated.

10. I'd like to see a dollar an alert surcharge assesed on the alerter.

Proceeds to go the DNC general election fund.

or a bar tab at a good pub.......................

[GreatGazoo]

11. I think the jury message should just say "...take me straight to the post in GD-P..."

I have been on only one jury in the last 5 months that wasn't GD-P

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Minimum 3 a day

[libodem]

14. At least you can serve

Be proud.

[Arkansas Granny]

15. I've done 44 so far this month.

[LiberalArkie]

26. I used to be like that, But I have not had a jury since around the start of April.

[Arkansas Granny]

27. As I clicked on your post, I got jury duty # 45.

[LiberalArkie]

30. Better you than me. Something is skewed. It used to be I could not keep a train of thought on

anything for all the alerts.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Once a day for me, at least.

I can't wait until it's over, as well.

[Iggo]

17. I'm doing one-a-day, sometimes two.

I imagine if I was still a star member, it'd be more.

But don't worry. It'll all be over once the voting's over.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

19. I bet there will be far more DU juries later. After the Primaries paid trolls will be exposed.

They will invade the General Discussion Forum, posing as transsexuals, angry atheist, etc. I vote that we repeatedly expose them to readers. Plenty of our past Opening Posts can be found with Google and other search engines, without using overly specific search criteria. Do you people realize that 3 or 4 thousand readers a day is interesting to groups like the RNC and online operatives of people like Trump?

[Iggo]

21. Will there still be juries after the primaries are over?

[Ford_Prefect]

22. I'm tired of the ugly, mean, ignorant and stupid. I'm tired of the deliberate nastiness.

I'm also quite tired of the #&*((**()& bloody poor grammar and spelling.

Since April began it's at least 2 a day. Some I've had to decline. The Trolls may be there stirring the pot, but more often it is someone who should clearly know better by virtue of long membership.

[nilesobek]

24. Trying to be fair with my jury votes. When they get ugly I vote hide.

[Arkansas Granny]

28. I only vote to hide if they violate TOS.

I try to remain impartial.

[Mendocino]

25. I was serving,

opted out because of the Bernie/Hillary squabbles. Went back after a bit, same old, opted out again. I'll wait until after the election to serve again.

31. Three most days

Some are so frivolous
