(39,909 posts)Good to see you,
and I wish you would post here more.
When I see your Screen Name,
it know it will be followed by a thoughtful, intelligent, well composed post.
You have helped make DU a better place.
You made some good points in your post.
What do you think about making the post that is Alerted Upon anonymous?
so that Jurors would have no idea who authored it?
The post could then be judged purely on the content of the individual post,
and not influenced by any clique bias.
I realize this would deny access to information contained in the rest of the thread,
but am undecided whether that additional information is relevant in judging a particular post.
I believe that I would support making the Alerted post anonymous,
but I still believe that screen names should appear on both the Alert,
and Jurors decisions and comments.
I have never posted a comment as a Juror or Alerter that I would be ashamed to have my name on,
but have seen that anonymity abused.... a lot.
Again,
Good to see you on DU.
