    To further improve upon this I have a few suggestions. #1 Instead of the "Jury" making the final decision have it so that the jury is the initial buffer before the official complaint is registered for final review by facebook themselves. This should alleviate the amount of work they have to do and thus have more time to properly investigate the claims and the corresponding group/user etc. In this manner Facebook makes the official decision based on their ToS instead of randomly selected people and their interpretation of FB's ToS. #2 This suggestion most likely should be included with any option. Further improve the algorithm to select candidates that appear to have no biased opinions on the matter at hand. Eg a controversial group should not have a reviewer who is part of said group or has links to other groups either in favor or against the particular group in question. We know FB mines enough data to deliver adds based on a users preferences, hobbies etc. This could be worked into that. #3 If option 1 was to be thrown to the wayside have only "torn jury" decisions based on votes that are too close in numbers then sent to FB for final review. In this situation where a vote may be torn there is a high risk individuals either A) interpreting the ToS incorrectly or B) The randomly selected individuals may have a higher bias towards one vote or the other based on personal feelings and would allow FB (And various other sites if this type of review process was used elsewhere) to make a final decision based on the actual ToS instead of an interpretation
