if I am on jury duty and I get any anti Sanders or pro Hilary post I will be voting to automatically hide it!

This is one of the sillier alerts I have encountered.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Admitting to extreme bias when serving on juries.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat May 7, 2016, 10:51 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Criticism is part of the process and in most cases I'll allow those posts to stand and give others a chance to refute them. However, if they contain bullshit, nitpicky slurs (Bernie groping a model's butt - I'd have hidden that one If I could) or lies, or if they come from a wingnut source, out they go. But I'll do that for posts relating to both candidates. I don't ever hide just on the basis of who's being favored or criticized.

The jury system on DU sucks - but deciding in advance that you're going to hide something only makes it worse.

i thought it was too many on my ignore list, so I cut it by half. Still no jury duty but a lot more annoying OPs.

I'm blocked from the Hillary group... I was #758, a little late to the party. I replied to someone with the difference between socialism and democratic socialism.... all factual and no snark; cause it SEEMED like they needed some information. But they didn't, and they didn't like it, and I was blocked. ha.

Though in the last week or two it slowed down quite a bit. Ever since Admins released the Timeout regiment it went to two a day now it's one a day.
