No "SOP" checkbox, no "Disruptive and Over the Top" checkbox ... just a text area to send a note to the admins.

9. We are now under the new TOS.

[hlthe2b]

10. I hope this will bring positive change. That said, I do wonder if there will be fewer DUers willing

to participate on juries I think it is our responsibility to do so, but it does seem like (without the results feedback we are accustomed to), it will be sort of a "vacuum" process--not even rewarding the basic curiosity of "what happened afterwards"...

I understand why Skinner has chosen to go this route, though. I truly do.

[LiberalFighter]

11. I hope I still take jury duty seriously under the new format.

[DavidDvorkin]

12. I served on a jury a few minutes ago

The new format takes some getting used to.

[hlthe2b]

13. Do you feel "bothered" that you won't know the outcome?

I think curiosity is a very normal human instinct.... so I do wonder about the effect on potential jurors f there is no feedback...

[DavidDvorkin]

14. Yes, it does bother me

I liked getting that information.

[NurseJackie]

15. Yep ... by knowing the results, a juror who was a LONE "leave-it" or a LONE "hide-it" will be able…

... to adjust their expectations, or strictness, or leniency when they have others to compare their vote to.

[hlthe2b]

16. Yes.. I agree with you on that and found that did influence the way I juried....

[question everything]

18. Is this now part of the new system

not to notify the results?

I wish they would

[hlthe2b]

19. yup.... I just served a short while ago and it left me feeling

as though I had no idea whether or not my efforts were worth it. Don't get me wrong, I do believe jury duty is important to the functioning of DU and will continue to do so when I can. But it does leave one wondering if their vote even registered or made a difference.

20. I was just on a jury.. it was weird.. you have to read their minds.. not an easy thing.

[eastwestdem]

22. So you can't go and look at a thread, like in the old system?

Only the post at question is available to the jurors?

[Cha]

24. Right. And, there's all these boxes to check about what the alerter had in

mind and the poster had mind. Weird.

[wysi]

21. Just served on one

It was not too bad, actually.

[Politicub]

23. I've missed you DU

Been waiting for this day.
