Christ almighty!

I am probably only on DU about an hour a day, and I sometimes go several days without logging on at all. I have served on 74 juries so far this year. Lately, I've been getting two a day. You guys need to be nicer to each other

1. They also need to allow those of us booted off to rejoin the jury pool.

Yeah, I was booted.

NO idea why. I've got a post to Skinner in Ask the Admins seeking an answer to that.

I was pretty hurt AND angry when I found out.

I would love to help share the load........but first i need to be reinstated.

In true form, Calpig crawls out of her crypt to make the first post. I bet she was so hurt and angry her mouth was agape.

2. Peg, it says "NO" on your profile for willing to serve on juries.

Is that a mistake? I can't imagine why you would be removed from jury duty.

3. Yeah, it says that. And I did not choose that.

It was done to me by one of the administrators.

I don't understand it at all. Like you, I have no idea why I would be removed.

So I posted in Ask the Admins., and I hope to get an answer shortly.

24. Even when we can't see you, I get a feeling that you're out there watching over us.

6. There are a number of us who have been booted off

even though our profiles say "willing to serve" both in "my profile" and "my account"

I was getting several calls/day. Then they stopped. I thought maybe it was just the time of day I was on DU...and then
a couple of days ago I found out about several others who had been booted off who also had 100% chance of serving
and willing to serve listed in their profile.

So, what gives? Who knows? I know I have not been contacted or told why I no longer get calls to juries for quite some time.

More people are dropping off DU entirely because of having been dropped--in their opinion, unjustly--from jury duty.

9. Try going to your account settings

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=myaccount

Make sure that that you have "Willing" selected. I've heard that choosing the "don't ask..." option (on the far right) of a jury notice rather than the simple "not now" (center) option will change your account to Unwilling.

Sorry if you've already done that but I've mistakenly "unwillinged" myself before.

12. For me it was those 3 options in a jury notice

"Accept..." "Not now..." "Don't ask again..."

I discovered the don't ask link sets you to unwilling. If I were an admin, I'd remove the don't ask in the notice or change the wording to "I'm not willing to serve on a juries" and make the button red.

25. You're possibly also taking up the slack from all

the Sanders supporters they blocked from jury duty. I'm one of them. I used to get alerts nearly every day, sometimes twice a day. That ended about six weeks ago.
