Like I said to ism, they are losing, and their growing desperation pleases me.

It's so cute how they think they're being subtle.

To develop a secret language with which to hide our real thoughts from the sock puppets. But may need a dictionary, until I have fully mastered the new language.

It's a group of DU volunteers who assess newcomers and look for trolls, as well as identify any existing trolls The volunteers have very limited power. Anyone who is suspicious acting with over 100 posts gets sent to the administrators for review. I just got done serving in MIRT and it was a great experience

can i give you a hug first

then a chuckle.

you do not know mirt?

k, it is a group that signs up every three months that can kick a person off the board if they are disruptive and have under 100 posts, when the person gets a hide. or send a duer who gets a hide to administration for a review.

Wouldn't this group have the same rights as other DU groups to lock out offenders?
