Jury duty

WE JUDGE OURSELVES

No staff moderator judges opinions here. Alleged racism, hate speech and calls to violence go to five randomly selected peers. They review the evidence independently, judge conduct rather than belief, and the majority decides.

Miss three call-ups in a row and your whole account is suspended for a month — you may read, but cannot post, vote or participate. Repeat it and the suspension is six months. A third time ends membership permanently. We are all in this together — take ownership of the outcome. Read the charter.

The public docket

Pending cases show their progress without exposing live votes. Every decided ruling may be challenged once by the losing side. Each challenge draws five members who have not served earlier in that case, and publishes its grounds, votes, outcome and reasoning.

A case file is open to the people in it — the member it concerns, the member who brought it and the five jurors called to decide it. Vote counts and the published reasoning are shown; jurors are never named.
