Be a hero! Join the Malicious Intruder Removal Team today!

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the Announcements group).
Volunteers who wish to help keep DU running smoothly should consider joining the Malicious Intruder Removal Team (MIR Team). The role of MIR Team members is simple: they are empowered to revoke the posting privileges of people who show up at DU with the intent to disrupt.

I've always said that the DUches would know the local Gestapo or NVDK phone numbers by heart. I should have jumped to the obvious conclusion that they would actually be members of those groups. 
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

If you are a DU member with at least six months of membership, at least 1,000 posts, and proof of identity (ie. you are a current DU2 donor and made the donation in your own name) then you can apply to be a member of the MIR Team.

Well, hell; that qualifier ALONE just about GUARANTEES that the DUmbass version of MI-6 will be riddled with Kim Philbys.  About the only DUmmies that bought their own donor stars under the old system WERE the moles.   :rotf:

Oh, not members...just capos, block captains, and informants.  Real oppressors know better than to let the willing tools actually join, they're just too stupid and unreliable to be running things.

Oh NOOOOO!!!

You actually paid for your own star?

That's what DUmmies are for.

We need a poll.

You know, I know of two decent and civilized people who got stars for their moles, paid for by the primitives.

I don't recall when, but one time the CalPig primitive bought one for one of them, and another time the w8liftinglady did.

I figure that I was doing the world a favor. Let the DUmmies spend their money on me or on drugs, which puts everyone in danger.

I did it for the safety of mankind.

Any DUmmy who's bought three or more stars has bought at least one for a mole.

 Troll-Busting and How to Make it Work and Get the Troll MIRTed.
With DU3 being new and all, there are quite a few trolls who are experimenting with the site. Here's a thread from one of them:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/100247935

Here's how I got it hidden, locked, and the poster MIRTed (I just made that up right now).

1. I read the thread and recognized the original post as trollery.
2. I read down the thread and noticed that others had the same suspicion.
3. I alerted on the OP, choosing the Community Standards option.
4. I selected the TOS Violation option.
5. I wrote a comment that said, "This poster appears to be a low post count troll. The post is disruptive. If you vote to Hide the post, it will be sent to the MIR Team." or words to that effect.
6. Shortly, the post was hidden, the thread was locked, and the OP was MIRTed.

I just thought I'd share this. It worked great.

I wonder what poor primitive that was, who got kicked off.

The primitives aren't smart enough to detect real moles.

I hear that.  The early going can be brutal.  Best to just K&R the first hundred posts or so.    DUmmies are brutal on the new meat.  After a few hundred posts then you can actually make a few fawning comments.  Restraining your natural urge to make comments is rather like asking a kid to eat vegetables at an ice cream social but it has to be done if you want to get your mole out of the gate. :naughty:

Mineral Man is giving tips:

You know, madam, this is utterly ridiculous.

There's two sorts of "malicious intruders;" trolls who go to Skins's island to purposely disrupt, to purposely discombobulate the primitives, and moles who go to Skins's island for informational purposes.

Trolls can act any way they wish; moles must blend in with the primitives.

So the primitives are going to be running around looking for malicious intruders, but all they're going to find are trolls.  And they never needed a committee to detect trolls in the first place; the primitives on their own, even the most stupid of them, were always at least reasonably competent at detecting trolls.

Moles are another matter.

If the elusive enigmatic Elad couldn't find certain moles, I can guarantee you that a committee of 100 primitives aren't going to find them either.  I'm still dumbfounded that they still don't realize who the Walt Starr primitive was.

"MIRT."  It has that oh-so-appropriate, deliciously-malignant Soviet Russian sound, like "SMERSH."

Oh, that was helpful, MineralMan's how-to guide for spotting trolls.  Look for an opposing opinion, then squash it.  Genius.  Wish I'd thought of it. 


Here's a fawning post I ran by over there:  "Love your posts, Octafish.  I'll be looking for more of them!"   Now, it might make a mole's stomach turn to type that, but then again, it could be stated entirely honestly as a mole, couldn't it?
