In reply to the discussion: DU General Election Season Begins Soon: What You Need To Know [View all]kjones
(1,059 posts)I don't even remember ever having a hide, so, my only interaction with them is serving on them.
I think it would be nice to allow those non-star members with a high number of posts (bump it up
to 2,500 or whatever for non-stars...something) to serve on juries. Otherwise, it's kind of like
paid moderator status, isn't really a jury of peers either (not that it is said or supposed to be).
I guess the only thing about it that does rub across the grain is that it kind of ignores that, without
the bulk of active non-star members, there wouldn't be nearly as much content or activity around
here. So, it'd be nice to give those non-paying, but very active members, a little bit of responsibility.
I don't consider myself an active member.
Oh, and I guess it could prove unhealthy to have jury powers in an even smaller number of hands.
We saw what happened during this (and other) primary season when jury powers got concentrated
into fewer hands.
I don't know, just my thoughts...but again, I've never actually been affected by the jury system
anyway, so...
