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. 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!

[uppityperson]

2. Welcome to new MIRT and thankyou to retirees. New MIRTers, please make sure you check out

these 2 threads in the MIRT forum. There may be others with more updated info, but these have a lot of good stuff that will help make your job easier.

Thanks for volunteering and helping make DU suck less.

3. They have already been kicked to the front page.

Someone beat me to it though.

[uppityperson]

8. It is annoying, saw that in "my posts" but can't read it.

have fun

[cyberswede]

4. No uppityperson this term?

It won't be the same!

[uppityperson]

7. Sorry, will be gone for a month and couldn't commit. I will miss you all

but will be obnoxiously working my hobby when I am here.

[cyberswede]

9. I'll think of you whenever I nuke you-know-who!

[uppityperson]

10. I will admit I am very curious as to his recent sign up habits and names. Oh well, carry on!

You do a good job with my bestest buddy.

[cyberswede]

12. A cursory glance shows a complete lack of originality on his part. nt

[uppityperson]

13. Well, that is good. I've caught a few and hoped he didn't change.

The writing style hasn't changed, as far as I can tell. Probably true for most of us.

Is he still going after Skinner? Am I still being murdered?

[cyberswede]

14. Just Skinner - not you.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. thanks for the links... checking them out now.

[MADem]

5. Hello new MIR Team--good luck! I hope you don't have too much of a workload! nt

[Agschmid]

6. Thanks!

So far so good... I'm being quite "vigilant" today.

[MADem]

16. Stand bravely on those ramparts and defend us from trolls....! nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Thanks to the retiring team, and welcome and thank you to the new team!

[ornotna]

15. Looks like a darn good team

Go get 'em guys.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. thanks. looking forward to working with every one -

[TeamPooka]

19. GLA! I forgot to re-sign up.

[hrmjustin]

20. Glad to be aboard.

[In_The_Wind]

25. It's a real eyeopener.

Now I have someone new to send PMs about a certain zombie.

[hrmjustin]

26. Yes you do my friend!

Caught a few already.

[In_The_Wind]

28. It's addicting.

I'm so glad that most DUers never see what MIRT sees.
The sign-up names are something else.
I used to send everything to Rhiannon12866. She was an excellent MIRTer.
There are a few MIRT members I still know. Mostly returnees.
A few of the newbies, I'll send PMs to also.

[hrmjustin]

29. Mirt is certainly different then regular posting.

Send away my friend!

[In_The_Wind]

31. I'll be volunteering again for the fall and/or winter MIRT positions.

I always have lots of time to be here at DU when it's cold outside.

You seem to be awake when I am, so dropping a PM on you makes lots of sense.
You'll be hearing from me.

[hrmjustin]

32. Yeah! That would be great.

[NRaleighLiberal]

21. So glad to be back on the job - great teammates! Yippee!

[hrmjustin]

22. Glad to be serving with you.

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. very kind of you...thanks!

[Jefferson23]

24. All the very best to the new team!

[arcane1]

27. Welcome, and welcome back, as applicable!

[Th1onein]

33. First time I ever volunteered for anything here and I didn't get picked.

I'm going to throw my keyboard in the toilet and pout for six weeks.

Goodbye, cruel world.
