In reply to the discussion: Do you like the new jury system? [View all]mentalsolstice
(4,570 posts)See my post above, #44. This morning, I was called to jury this thread, http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027949965, post 29. As you can see, one of the responses above it that was included as relevant contained a link to the thread, so all a juror had to was click on the link and see it all, with names and everything. So it ended up not being an anonymous experience as intended. It would also have been easy for jurors to have gone in and discuss having served and how they voted. I actually saw this done in another thread where someone commented about serving on a jury for a removed post, but didn't think to save the link.
I guess eventually users will start figuring out ways to subvert the admins attempts to make the process as anonymous as possible and jurors will at least be able to see whether or not the post was removed.
May as well go back to the old way, perhaps with a rule that posting jury results will be a punishable offense to avoid further drama.
