Say hello to our new MIR Team!

[EarlG]

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.

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!

The MIR Team, October 2014 - January 2015

1. Kthx

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Welcome to the new team and thank you to the old one!

It was a great term and I enjoyed working with the group.

It never ceases to amaze me at just how many malicious intruders batter at our walls every day. Without MIRT, we would be swamped.

[petronius]

6. Hello.

Many of those names belong to posters I respect, whether I agree with them or disagree with them.

May you all have fewer and fewer trolls to MIRTer and thanks to the outgoing posters for making the experience more enjoyable. I have observed some quick action and not once did I disagree if I had seen the post that caused the sudden departure of NAME REMOVED.
