Maybe after having to serve so many full time outs (I know all about that!) and knowing - proven by screenshots - they were out to goad her to purposefully get her posts hidden, she just got disgusted seeing all those that fully deserved their time-outs being allowed back in with no repercussion. It wasn't fair and I wouldn't blame her. That said, I hope her health is ok and that she'll be back soon. It would be great to see her able to post and not have to worry about the alert-stalkers, now that there's really no penalty.

although I wouldn't blame her being bummed about this place, I think she'll be back. She's a fighter.
That's why I wonder where she is.

She definitely is tough. This place has lost way too many good fighters .... it needs cali back.

Is this related to that?

I know I am banned from serving on jurys because I am a Bernie supporter. How far will the DU owners go?

And she has not been PPRed.

(Easiest way to get there is to go to your profile page - hit the red "Jenny_92808" near the top of the screen. Then replace everything after the ~ with the user you want to see. In this case, change ~Jenny_92808 to ~cali)

I agree with you that a PPR would be on her profile page but a jury ban is different. When Skinner announced the amnesty, the same post announced that some people would be banned by the admins from serving on juries -- and that the ban would be secret:

Going forward if we see anyone voting to leave the worst-of-the-worst posts, or voting in a nakedly partisan fashion to hide posts which are clearly legitimate, then we will remove that person's ability to serve on juries. (We are not going to provide any notification to members who lose their jury privileges, because under the messed-up values of primary season we think many of you would see it as some kind of badge of honor.) {emphasis added}


The "Going forward" phrase is ambiguous. It could conceivably mean that the ban would be employed only based on post-amnesty edits. Alternatively, it might be a recognition that heretofore there have been no jury bans except those incident to hides, but that now the admins will start banning, based (if they so choose) on older edits.

I personally don't like surreptitious banning but that's the new policy.

Is this because I am a Bernie supporter? Did the same thing happen to HRC supporters? I feel in the dark....

to me too - I wasn't getting jury notices after "the announcement" and previously I was geting several a week. I started a thread about it and another DUer looked at my profile and another Bernie supporters and "willing to serve on jury" had been switched to "not willling" I swtiched it back and told the other DUer too. Now I'm wondering if there is some "vote flipping" going on here too.
P.S.: Since I switched it back to "willilng" I've gotten several jury notices.

JPR, but that doesn't mean anything, Cali could be lurking there like I normally do.
