For Jury, I would give a "skip question" option. I found one relating to Christianity that I had _no_ idea what the "correct" answer would be based on the two options. I thought clicking "Ask a new question" then going right back into Jury Duty would give me a new question, but I landed on the same one. I think the asker providing the two valid responses is flawed. It doesn't allow the "jury" to draw their own conclu…

2nd this. Already getting weirdos posting pictures of two children and asking "this" or "this"...

It's really unsatisfying as a 'juror' to not see the 'verdict'.

It's not objective, because the questions are biased.

It's really just an (I assume) real-time online opinion poll with a low sample size.

After asking a question, I was 'juror' for the same question approximately 10 times in a row.

I always imagined a system like this could be used for a larger community to self-regulate/moderate. Moderating would be a requirement of membership -- sort of like mandatory military service. So everyone is invested in creating a good community and everyone sees what it is like to be a mod. Maybe it is a naive idea and I am sure it isn't original. Curious to see who has experimented with it before. I bet in RL communes/utopias have attempted something like this.

Interesting, fun. Suggestion:

I really miss not seeing the results.

After answering several questions, I really wanted to see what the final jury decision was. I saw a question from a father asking about leaving his assets to his children. I would want to know what the other 11 random people selected (for various reasons).

Without this feature, I think I might start to lose interest because it'll start to feel like I'm clicking into the empty, voiceless void.

> diverse panel of 12 real people of all ages, far removed from your peer group, around the world who will be able to give you an instant decision on your question 24/7. No commentary, just a verdict between two choices

If the userbase becomes equally-ish distributed around the world, for many questions, this wouldn't be very useful.

Especially when you only get a yes/no answer. People can give you the same answer for opposite reasons.

Should I invite 400 people to my wedding?

12xNo

1 from countries where this is too many, 11 from countries where this is too few.

(and it depends on who is up, timezones and all)

You were hoping for a No, because you can't afford 400 guests, and now you think the world agrees with you. Wrong.

With a well-crafted question, this can be mitigated. But I doubt the average user will be willing to put the effort.
