Better late than never -- say hello to our new MIR Team!

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the Announcements group).

Apologies to those who were waiting for me to assign the new team -- the switch was supposed to happen on Wednesday, but I got distracted and forgot to do it. Sorry!

The job of the Malicious Intruder Removal Team is to ban people who join DU with the intent to disrupt. MIR Team members are volunteers, and they serve for a three-month term.

If you are a member of the MIR Team, you should have access to the access-restricted Malicious Intruder Removal Forum. It should appear as a red folder on your Forums & Groups page, and in the left column of any page (if you view DU in "Standard" mode).

Thank you to everyone who volunteered! We had more than enough responses, so unfortunately we were not able to take everyone who volunteered. Volunteers were selected on a first-come-first-served basis.

Also, a special thanks this time around to Behind the Aegis, BumRushDaShow, ehrnst, ismnotwasm, KelleyKramer, Kingofalldems, Maeve, marble falls, uppityperson, and WePurrsevere, who were drafted during the last term to help out during the election. Thank you!
