Say hello to our new MIR Team!

A day late (sorry about that), but certainly not a dollar short -- rather, a bounty of volunteers all here to help keep DU running smoothly. Thank you to all!

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, they serve for a three-month term, and they must take a break after serving two consecutive terms.

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 in your sidebar navigation, on the Forums page in the Special Forums section, and also on the Help & Search category page.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered! Volunteers were selected on a first-come-first-served basis.

The MIR Team, December 2023 - March 2024

incoming and outgoing. You do an absolutely outstanding job of keeping DU a safe and at least semi-sane place. As we are now in possibly the most contentious and important election in our lives, I know your job is going to be ever more difficult. Again, my deepest thanks and gratitude.

Drinks are on me.

It's not an easy job, it takes a LOT of time, and the coming 6 months will be heavy duty.
