Say hello to our new MIR Team!

[EarlG]

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 now 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). New MIRT members (and veterans who need a refresher) should check out the "How To" threads pinned to the top of the MIRT forum.

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

1. Hello to the new team and thank you to the retiring team!

It's a truly important job. DU would be overrun with bots and disruptors without MIRT.

2. Once again, a stellar team!

Thank you to all of the volunteers both retired and current. I appreciate your hard work.

5. Thank you all for your behind-the-scenes work.

This looks like a great new and returning MIR Team.

Because into the next three months of the midterms we're reeeally gonna need you all watching the perimeter!

6. So long, fare well, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

Once again I was reminded that I can't devote enough time to it to be an effective member.
