Say hello to our new MIR Team!

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 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! We had so many volunteers this time around that unfortunately we weren't able to take everyone, but our appreciation goes out to all who offered to help. Volunteers were selected on a first-come-first-served basis.

The MIR Team, May - August 2019

MIRT gets notified when someone fairly new gets a post removed so they can take a look and take the appropriate action.
