Say hello to our new MIR Team!

[EarlG]

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.

You are why this place has helped me so much, along with Dave (and elad ). It is about as safe as the web can be, which is needed at times like these when all institutions are crumbling. Thanks guys. These days we are all we have..I really owe DU. And thank you for bearing with me.
