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. The members serving on the current team were selected on a first-come-first-served basis. (Note that we do not select anyone whose Transparency page is displayed.)
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!

"KEEPING DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY".
I got mail in My Inbox from MIR Team Skinner.
I didn't know what to make of it. 
So like a responsible DUer, I PMed Skinner back thinking it was a mistake. [img]

He answered me with a link to this thread.
So here I am . . .[img]

the little red folder appears without much fanfare, for sure. 
Welcome aboard! There's some reading material waiting for you here:

I have lots of questions so I won't do anything wrong.

...by delivering pizzas faster than the fastest pizza delivery shop in the business. I hope y'all enjoy toppings.
Those retiring thanks so much. Those that did two tours really had an interesting ride. 
Newbies welcome! Takes a week or so but you'll be fine.
Those staying on for round two, I do hope you have a quieter time. 
20 a day lets a MIRt-er play. 100 a day starts to seem like a career.
Been a long time since we last talked.....
Sorry I don't remember when we last talked. What was the topic; Star Trek or Star Wars?
Heh, we only talked maybe once or twice, TBH. In fact, I only remembered this, like, yesterday.
And kudos to the retirees.
to all...
Good luck, gang.
