Technically, it isn't possible to contact MIRT directly. What *is* possible is to contact a MIRT member and ask them to take it to the MIRT for consideration.

I am a MIRT member (although, beyond the end of my term and subject to be replaced by the Admins at any time).

I'm also a vet, but fail to see what the issue is here. Don't take that to mean I don't agree there's an issue, just that, right now, I don't understand what it is. I am happy to get a PM explaining what the issue is and what you'd like of MIRT.

Next is what MIRT can and can't do.

Any MIRT member can PPR any sub-100 post count member at any time for any legit reason. No need for discussion with other MIRT members although discussion and agreement takes place 99.99% of the time.

MIRT can ban any short term (usually means under 1000 posts, but there's no hard and fast, precise rule) member in the event they have a post hidden in the last 60 minutes and the TOS was checked in the alert.

And that's it. MIRT can *only* deal with short term disruptors.

MIRT has no power to PPR a long term member no matter what they do or say. The member I think is the focus of this thread is a long term member.
