3. Well, this is how it works.

Although the jury system doesn't work 100% of the time, it does grasp onto the few that says these types of things eventually.

The MIRT keeps track of the offenders who are new to the website. Spammers, obvious freepers, obvious trolls, obvious socks, etc. They go in their hidden little forum and talk things out and I'm sure a lot of them pays attention to H&M.

The jury system bumps up the long-term members who have an obvious pattern to their behavior. So, it's a lot easier to find these people who muck up the system for the admins.

Jury decisions are also moderated by the admins, from what I understand...

So basically, you're never going to get justice to your alert 100% of the time. And when you alert something, explain exactly how it's against the TOS in the explanation box. A lot of people are still not used to DU3.

It's already in TOS. Neoma Mar 2012 #1

Can you name a jury results post that didn't go down the path I described? laconicsax Mar 2012 #2

Well, this is how it works. Neoma Mar 2012 #3

What I suggested in one of the mirror threads for this was a way to work with the system. laconicsax Mar 2012 #4

Shoot for it. Neoma Mar 2012 #5

just for the record, MIRT only gets the alert if the post was hidden maddezmom Mar 2012 #6

I thought it was one or the other. laconicsax Mar 2012 #7

as far as I know they get both. MIRT can only deal with newbs so even if a post was hidden maddezmom Mar 2012 #8

Correct, admins see the TOS alert either way. gkhouston Mar 2012 #11

Question: How would you define "Serial Misogynist"? Taverner Mar 2012 #16

I've started a few threads in H&M discussing this issue and it exists across minority groups stevenleser Mar 2012 #10

If that's how it came across, I apologize. It was not my intent. laconicsax Mar 2012 #12

No worries, they have had some success, but there are regularly examples of how much more work needs stevenleser Mar 2012 #13

That there are. laconicsax Mar 2012 #14

Question: How much will be context vs words? Taverner Mar 2012 #15

Could you give an example? laconicsax Mar 2012 #17

That you see that as an example implies that you don't understand the issue. laconicsax Mar 2012 #19

I don't think you get it maddezmom Mar 2012 #20

The misogyny is bad on DU. Jamastiene Mar 2012 #21

Yep. Ms. Toad Mar 2012 #22

I agree with you that misogyny and sexism are vile and unacceptable, HOWEVER... Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2012 #23

I don't think those are mutually exclusive. laconicsax Mar 2012 #24
