as is evidenced by the hundreds of recommendations threads from supporters of women's rights have received over the past few days. Juries, however, continue to be stacked against us. Someone pointed out to me today why this is happening. It's our ignore lists. In having them on ignore and trashing certain groups, we stack juries in the favor of members who post flamebait and deliberately seek to offend women.

As an example, I point you to the recent thread in GD on breasts. The results for both the OP and hidden post are posted in that thread. The outcomes are entirely opposite. This has to be due to ignore lists. I know how unpleasant it is to see posts from certain members, but ignore lists are having an impact on the governance of the site. I encourage you to rethink your ignore lists, as I have mine.
