if a person has a post alerted on I think they should be notified, when the alert is sent. That way it gives the person a chance to 'fix' the offending post, make their case--via an edit on the post, or take their chances with a jury.
I've had two posts hidden since DU 3, one was something I said with a now banned poster, and a while ago when I wasn't clear. Two jurors knew what I meant but the others didn't.
I think it could lead to less hidden posts (differing views are good) and maybe more civil dialog. If I could have read the alert on my second hidden post could have either changed it so it was more clear, or did an edit and explained what I meant.
As for 6 or 7 on a jury.....I think either is fine. They system works well now, imo.
edited to add: I do think having a tie giving the benefit to the poster/DU'er is a plus. So I'm leaning leaving it at 6
