The OnTheJury startup is bound to entertain internauts and elicit thought among those who are devoted to sociological research and want to study the way behavioral patterns are formed and what they lead to. The dynamics of the site are as follows: you confess to something you have done online and others volunteer their opinions and judge you as “Guilty” or “Not guilty”. What’s more, you can become part of the jury simply by joining the online community, and judge cases the way you see fit.
The crimes themselves range between obsessive fantasies and reprehensible social behavior to general forums and web misconduct. Each case has a title and a succinct description (“The Evidence”), and upon reading it you can cast your vote (assuming you are already a registered user).
Open cases are prominently highlighted, and you can browse through older cases easily thanks to the provided navigation menu. The website also features a chart which provides site statistics, listing the top users as ranked by the number of cases submitted and the numbers of ballots cast.

“You confess to something you've done, and a jury decides whether you're guilty or whether you're not guilty. You can also choose to sit on the jury, and judge cases as you see fit.”

It is an entertaining way to while away some hours, and also help out people who can’t really make up their minds whether they did something wrong or not.

Is there any kind liability at play when I confess to something in here?
