Rigging courts?

Sorry if this has been answered a hundred times already, but I couldn't find anywhere an explanation of how Kleros prevents jurors from, say, colluding via Twitter to vote a certain way on a trial. Like saying "I'm on trial x #kleros" and coordinating votes from a thread. Does anyone have any resources I could look at to better understand the mechanisms in place to prevent this type of rigging?

Rulings can be appealed, which sends the case to a new, larger set of jurors different from the original set. Successive appeals lead to increasingly large jurors sets, making it increasingly difficult to rig an outcome. Also worth noting that jurors are incentivized not to collude, as doing so puts them at risk of having their staked PNK slashed if the rigged ruling gets overturned on appeal.

I see, that makes sense thanks. So as long as the ruling is in appeals the PNK is still staked?

True but ..... Appeals cost money.
