Say hello to our new MIR Team!

Last edited Wed Dec 10, 2025, 03:19 PM - Edit history (1)

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, they serve for a three-month term, and they must take a break after serving two consecutive terms.

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 in your sidebar navigation, on the Forums page in the Special Forums section, and also on the Help & Search category page.

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

The MIR Team, December 2025 - March 2026

Thanks for all you do, and all you've done....

I know it's not an easy task and it takes a lot of extra time. I did a stint on the MIR Team a few years ago, and I promise I'll come back again. I just can't manage it at the moment, but I'll be back next year I'm sure.
