This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the Announcements group).
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 now 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). New MIRT members (and veterans who need a refresher) should check out the "How To" threads pinned to the top of the MIRT forum.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered! Volunteers were selected on a first-come-first-served basis.
The MIR Team, June - September 2021

(28 posts)As a fairly new member, I'd seen a reference or two to a MIR Team and picked up on that it must be moderators of some sort. But learning just now what the acronym stands for made me chuckle.

(26,727 posts)Being on the MIR team looks like a lot of work, which is why I've never volunteered. I'm grateful to those who do.

(7,752 posts)I hope I am not breaking the rules by saying, I like seeing the list contain more progressive screen name people.
Thanks! It will make a difference on DU.
