Share Your Juror Narratives — A Bleg

by

My new site, Jury Experiences, is up and running. The main idea behind the site is to create a central forum for juror narratives and related discussions. The site needs more user-generated content!

If you’ve ever served as a trial juror and are at all interested in writing about your experiences, and have not yet done so, please consider contributing a post to the Jury Experiences discussion forum. (If you want to post to the forum you will have to register first, but this is quick and easy to do.)

Thanks.

UPDATE: A commenter points out that the Jury Experiences forum registration system is a hassle that discourages reader participation. I agree entirely. I think the forum paradigm is inappropriate for many potential contributors for this reason, and am considering easier alternatives. Suggestions are welcome.

Disappearing Comments

by

I have been adding terms to the blog’s anti-spam blacklist recently as more spam comments have begun to penetrate our deflector shields.

If you post a comment and your comment does not appear, it was probably blocked or deleted by some part of the anti-spam system. Please let me know ASAP if this happens, so that I can rescue your comment if possible and adjust the anti-spam system if necessary.

Also, you should probably keep a copy in Word or Notepad of any long comments that you write, at least until they appear successfully on the blog.
