Say hello to our new MIR Team!

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (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 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!

The MIR Team, February - May 2017

Have fun!

I served 2 terms and it was truly an education. Granted it was over the primaries and GE Campaign, so things were a bit more heated than usual. You definitely have to be on your toes. Had the benefit of some very experienced MIR Team Members who were very patient in explaining the ins and outs of being on the MIR Team. Will probably do it again.
