In reply to the discussion: A note on Jury Service. (edited) [View all]arcane1
(38,613 posts)22. I have around a 5% hide rate, but that's mostly due to stupid alerts.
That said, if I have to read more than two other posts in order to get context, I vote to leave it.
My purpose on the jury is to judge the post, not the conversation. If I have to read an entire thread in order to decide if a post is a violation, then it's not.
The same goes for alerts that say "it's not this post, but look at the other posts in other threads, and you'll get an idea of the poster's motive." It's a complete waste of time and I will happily say so in the comments.

It has to be MIRT material or border line MIRT and obvious TOS violation before I vote to hide.

I find this an enlightening discussion. Myself, I vote to hide it if it is a personal attack/snark.

Except that we can still opt to read the hidden post. So we get to judge the judgers.

The people who alert on everything are the same ones who used to tell the teacher

You are correct. In very long threads often only the sub-thread is important. Not the WHOLE thread.

The thing is hidden posts probably get more attention than non hidden ones.

My standard was to hide for bigotry of any sort, and unprovoked personal attacks

I think the Post Only should be judged and, without the poster's name available to be seen.
