Say hello to our new MIR Team!

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 (although not this term -- see below).

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.

Since this term will cover the election plus the potential fallout period after the election -- through January 6, 2025, and possibly Inauguration Day -- we decided to waive the two-term limit for this term only, so that we can have a full complement of experienced MIRT members on deck. This means that MIRT members who just served two terms are eligible for one more, this time only.

We have still taken on a number of new MIRT members this time around -- thank you to everyone who volunteered! -- but unfortunately we were not able to take all volunteers this time. Volunteers were selected on a first-come-first-served basis, and if it turns out that we need additional coverage during the election period, we will first reach out to members who applied but were not selected.
