Can I get a shorter reduced-chances-for-juries flag than 90 days?

I just saw one of my posts was removed. The post was asking someone to please alert a post that clearly broke the rules about smearing Democrats.

I asked because I was waiting for an earlier alert to get resolved, and it was driving me bananas to see this posted on a DU forum.

My post was removed for interfering with forum moderation. It’s the first time I’ve said something about alerting a post.

I have learned from my mistake about not flagging posts this way, and won’t do it again.

I am a long-term member and an enthusiastic DUer... And I’m really bummed out about having my chances to serve on a jury reduced to 80%.

As many juries as there have been lately I don't think you need to be concerned you will get chosen. redstatebluegirl Apr 2019 #1

I have been serving on a ton of them lately and do so gladly. I think 80 percent chance means you still have a good chance of serving. You might want to read the rules again just to refresh yourself. I happened to me last year.

Thanks.

I thought I had a good grasp on them, but I guess I didn’t for all of them.
