Congrats on surviving. I hope you continue to do so. nt el_bryanto Oct 2013 #2

huh, I thought it was automatic that you can't post for a certain time period if you get too many quinnox Oct 2013 #3

2 different things. one is automatic account review. the other is hitting 5 hides in 90 days Pretzel_Warrior Oct 2013 #8

huh, it seems more complicated than I thought quinnox Oct 2013 #13

I don't think there are "steps" so much as "brakes". winter is coming Oct 2013 #84

Nah that ain't it. trumad Oct 2013 #122

I think Mr. Trumad may have fallen under the "90 day grace period", although I could be mistaken. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #15

That's how I read Skinner's announcement as well - that it was automatic petronius Oct 2013 #19

From my understanding, the 5 hidden posts rule will be automatically imposed MineralMan Oct 2013 #25

Oh, great, right at Christmas time. Thanks, Skinner! klook Oct 2013 #129

For the vast majority of DUers, it will make no MineralMan Oct 2013 #131

Yep, I agree. klook Oct 2013 #133

Actually it was all posts already hidden when the new rule started didn't count. cui bono Oct 2013 #47

Well - since I see 5 hidden posts since 9/25 - Ms. Toad Oct 2013 #60

Now here's where I would take that particular ball and run with it, not that I'm suggesting Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #61

But after December it becomes a rolling process - you're blocked until the petronius Oct 2013 #67

Ah, I see. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #68

Maybe that's Skinner's devious plan: petronius Oct 2013 #70

It will be automated, so nobody has to think about it, MineralMan Oct 2013 #134

Not really Ms. Toad Oct 2013 #99

There is at least one post on ATA asking that question. n/t lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #126

Ive seen much worse posts than your last few get left alone by a jury. bunnies Oct 2013 #16

I've seen some really egregious stuff left to stand, and some very silly stuff hidden. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #17

You know what I think would be a big improvement to the jury system? bunnies Oct 2013 #24

I think you are on to something there. Problem is, you are allowed to read the entire thread/OP/etc. stevenleser Oct 2013 #77

Good point. bunnies Oct 2013 #81

It's still a very good idea. Maybe Elad could still work some magic. stevenleser Oct 2013 #88

Curmudgeoness has good input below. bunnies Oct 2013 #92

No, not so much for that idea. Curmudgeoness Oct 2013 #90

That could work. bunnies Oct 2013 #91

Jury members can check a poster's profile before MineralMan Oct 2013 #23

I agree. I think some people get hides just because of who they are. bunnies Oct 2013 #29

I've had one post hidden on DU3, and it was a good hide. MineralMan Oct 2013 #32

You? bunnies Oct 2013 #38

I'm having difficulty believing that a jury cracked down on the word "douchebag". Quantess Oct 2013 #40

well...... Sheepshank Oct 2013 #42

aimed at DUers was the problem, I think. nt bunnies Oct 2013 #44

Not all jurors are aware of the "Trumad Exception," MineralMan Oct 2013 #49

The only exception I know of Quantess Oct 2013 #51

How do you know the identity of the jurors? brer cat Oct 2013 #69

People used to post a lot of jury results treestar Oct 2013 #104

And those jury results named all the jurors? brer cat Oct 2013 #111

You don't need to know who they are treestar Oct 2013 #117

I can see where one juror might be persuaded by personal feelings brer cat Oct 2013 #119
