I don’t believe this was suggested before, however It sprung to me as a thought and I wanted to share it with the community. As someone stated before, it would

We should allow a special amount of people on Mc-Market to be elected as a jury for reports and disputes. If users did not accept the invitation, then another user will be invited. These invitations wouldn’t be sent to people with the most reputation, messages, or reactions. The invitations would be partially based off activity. This would result in the community to decide weather or not the user was guilty, or not based off viable evidence. This is a marketplace, so peers should be able to judge the outcome of others. Weather it be simply not dealing with them, or even as far as deciding as a whole to remove someone from mc-market.

When deciding the jury, it will be at random. Staff will pool the community on values that deemed fit for the job, and then place them into a “hat”. Periodically these jury memebers will be rechecked to see if they still qualify for that position. If they no longer do, they will be removed. When the decision is made to pull the jury, it will be extracted at random from the “hat” and they will be asked if they could work under the case. If they can, they will be provided the details and given the information. If there is any probably cause that someone accepted the invitation, that is friends with that user, that skewed the decision of the user that resulted in an unjustified ban/keep then the user should be punished acoording to rules. Either that by permanent removal of jury status, warning, or ban. Otherwise, if they can’t then they will be placed back in the hat.

I understand this is basically how it already is. The community already gives their opinion freely without needing a jury, and having a jury could potentially backlog this, however this is in time an idea that could potentially grow. A jury would only be elected on a case whenever a staff member can’t either A) decide through evidence weather or not. B) The backlog of the reports / rep dispustes reach a considerably high amount that is deemed as an overflow.
As far as someone to manage the jury, there would be a need to hire an additional staff member to handle this. I would highly suggest Louwtjie for this position. He is the most knowledgeable, and qualified for this position.

Took a whole class period to write this, will add more later. Tell me your thoughts!

I'll just quote what I said in a previous suggestion as it applies to this situation as well.
Because that would be nothing more than a popularity contest. We'd have the most well known members become staff members sure, but that doesn't mean that they are qualified in any way shape or form. On top of that we'd also have to search for reputable members to sit on such a "jury" which would be just as hard as finding actual staff members.

It isn’t based off becoming staff or not. Being a jury doesn’t grant the same permissions as a staff member, nor any permissions different from a normal member. Also, pooling for a jury would be easier than finding staff members because the qualifications wouldn’t be as fine, and more dull. Also, reputable members wouldn’t be one of the qualifications as well.

Why should we dumb down the requirements to achieve such a power? The ability to decide if a member should receive a punishment isn't something we should just hand out. The current staff team isn't just going to easily promote random people to a team and give them indisputable authority over such matters.

Juries also have to be unbiased, that's difficult to determine considering we can't pull the extensive background checks irl juries go through before being chosen for that responsibility. Honestly, if I was confident enough in an individual to be a jury, I'd want to hire them as a staff member.

This would really complicate the process of scam reports and disputes, extending the workload we have quite unnecessarily bureaucratically for the entertainment of others.

I only mentioned that the qualifications wouldn’t require rep because I didn’t want people to look at the suggestion and be like, “Only popular people will get jury” - Sloth

Overcomplicating our systems isn't necessary and would make them take significantly longer to handle. There are really no benefits to adding a jury system to scam reports or reputation disputes that I can see.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
