We have changed the way your "Jury Score" is calculated

[SunSeeker]

52. Yes. My first and only hidden post was based on such a reason.

I was not being uncivil to anyone, just noting what the Boston bombers' uncle had said about their mother, namely, that her starting to wear a hijab and her two sons' radicalization were "not a coincidence." I even included a link of the video showing him saying that, where he suggests that the mother had a hand in their radicalization.

My post was hidden as a "bigoted" statement, 4 to 2. The alerter basically accused me of making the "bigoted" statement that wearing a hijab means you're a radical islamist. That of course was not my intent nor what I said. Nonetheless, with the successful alert I was immediately locked out of the thread and unable to defend myself.

I figured it was no big deal since I was just knocked down to a 95% chance of serving on a jury. But I just checked and now I have only an 80% chance of serving on a jury because of that now pretty old hidden post. I guess this new rule applies retroactively. Oh well, 90 days is about to pass, so I should be back to 100% pretty shortly.

Still, I think there should be a way to appeal ridiculous jury results, especially now with the much stiffer penalties for a hidden post.
