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!

Good luck, have fun and remember that retiring mirt members can not read those replies beyond the subject line so if you want to tease us/them, put something like "wow" in the subject line. it drives us nuts.

And thank you EarlG for the Grateful for Hope notice.
