Seven-person juries go into effect today. [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).

By popular demand, we have increased the number of jurors to evaluate community standards alerts from six to seven.

This is a fairly large technical change, and there are likely to be a few glitches. If you encounter any issues that you think the DU Admins need to be aware of, please post them in this thread.

Thank you for your understanding.
