An admittedly early DUmmy of Year nomination: DU Jury System
« on: May 15, 2012, 03:02:11 PM »
Sorry, but I had to toss this one out there.  I hereby nominate: The DU Jury System.  I can't stop laughing & or face-palming at how comical this new feature is "working".  It is completely revealing as to what an absolute bunch of morons we've been watching for the last many years.

Carry on, just had to throw that one out there.  Please feel free to put the nutty examples in this thread, as well starting fresh ones when they occur.

I love the Jury system - It's helping DU devolve into a rich, thick gravy made of Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, and 1984.. -slathered over a big meaty hunk of Politburo-style governance. Well done, Skins.

The DU jury system and their Meta forum are the most entertaining things to come out of DUmmyland in years.

Never thought I'd say this but the jury system is even more entertaining than ATA.

Those of us "old-timers" LOVED the old ATA forum, for so many humorous reasons.

I haven't seen anything approach he the consistent entertainment value of ATA until H&M and a large part of that is the jury system, whining about the jury system, whining about jury decisions, getting pissed off at the individual jury decisions.

Good call and well noted.  ^5.

I think I hit it once or twice, accidentally, and it gave me the option to continue or go back so I hit the back button. The left has such thin skin.

H&M is definitely my first stop when visiting the DUmp.  I've never seen such a pathetic bunch of whiners in my whole life.  You would think they'd be embarrassed by their behavior, but apparently not.  After all, they are always right about everything.

I get a real kick out of watching the feminist meltdowns over there, as well as all the word policing threads.  I especially like to try to figure out Seabeyond's thoughts while untangling the word salads she types.  Her strange use of punctuation usually causes her meaning to be totally skewed.  The other day she said something like huge ass fail, but the way she typed it made it sound like she called another poster a huge ass.  Hahahahaha!!

My poor little mole has only been invited to two juries.  :bawl:
She voted "let it stand", each time.
She's such a sweetie. Wouldn't hurt a fly.

Me either. I see no need here.

And yeah, the jury system is my favorite aspect of the primitives. The entertainment value is better than a lot of television right now.

To be honest, last December I didn't think either the "no moderators" and the "jury" thing would last longer than through winter, given Skins's propensity to micro-manage things.

I'm happy that I was wrong.

The jury system is NOTHING, NOTHING, I tell you, against the great and omnipotent Nads.  :runaway:

I've done it here maybe five times, but only to report spam.  Can't speak for the mods here, but as one at CU, it does help a lot.  Hard to monitor everything, so it is nice when the regulars help out.

That is an excellent theory. I must put some thought and observation, and even some experimentation into that. MAOs of libs are stimulated by stress...hmmm.
