Shit.

She was a friend of mine.

I hadn't heard from her in a few weeks, assumed she was busy with a new gig she had talked about.

Rest in peace, R.

I think we should have an appreciation thread for the available DU tools, also

As well as us DU tools who are nevertheless in committed relationships.

Agreed on all points.

Some people seem to rank their progressive cred by the degree to which they can figure out a way to complain about just about anything.

It already requires 4 votes to hide.

This will increase the odds of a given post being hidden, because those 4 votes will only need to come from a pool 7, instead of 6.

It's an interesting point re: "gaming" the jury system. Since juries are called essentially simultaneously, they are particularly resistant to a form of gaming which has plagued DU for years ---- namely the use of sockpuppets to make a viewpoint appear more popular than it actually is.

I suppose a very quick fingered and clever player might be able to get 2 socks on the same jury, but it seems unlikely. So that particular measure of DU public opinion is more resistant to gaming and manipulation.
