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!

I've served three terms. Seeing the belly of the beasts from the inside (so to speak) is an education. DUers should all volunteer. The MIRTeam are all great people. Actually, they are amazing.

Unfortunately, connectivity in the Manistee National Forest isn't very good. No cable TV. No broadband INet. Just shitty download limited cellular network.

If things improve, I'll sign up again. It really makes DU a better place. If you've never volunteered for MIRT, you have no idea how hard they work.
