33. That's not actually true about trashed threads - I get called to juries in threads

I've trashed on a regular basis. The things that exclude you from a jury are:

Members are excluded from serving if:

they have their "Willingness to serve on a DU Jury" option set to "Unwilling"
they are ignoring the alerted member
they are blocking DU mail from the alerted member
they have replied to the alerted member within the last 24 hours
they have alerted on the alerted member within the last 24 hours
they have posted in the thread which contains the alerted post
they are on the alerted member's Jury Blacklist

I suspect that it's posting in threads and having replied to the alerted-on poster that keep people out of juries on some of these uglier and higher-volume topics...
