I think the jury system was an interesting idea from the Admin/moderators perspective by "spreading the wealth" in terms of workload for moderation. But when the juries were using 6 selectees, the "system" began to break down with ties defaulting to "leave it". But now with the 7, it pretty much exasperates the problem because the previous default was to leave it for close (tie) votes. But now, bogus alerts get hides with a 4-3, time and time again. I agree with another poster in this thread that the hide threshold should be higher. And since everyone knows an obvious troll or spammer when they see one, those folks tend to get 6-1s or 7-0s anyway if they are around long enough not to catch the attention of MIRT.

I will offer this -
