We are now accepting new volunteers to serve on the MIR Team

We are now accepting new volunteers to serve on the MIR Team from February - May 2015


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.

Members of the MIR Team are provided with tools to delete spam posted by people who have had their posting privileges revoked, but they are NOT responsible for removing community standards violations, locking threads, or dealing with violations of DU's Terms of Service wherever they may occur.

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 Star member) then you can apply to be a member of the MIR Team. (Please note that if your Transparency page is displayed, you are disqualified from serving on the MIR Team.)

How do I apply?

Simple: just post in this thread to let us know that you'd like to give it a try, and you could be selected by the Admins. There is no application form to fill out, and no confidentiality agreement to sign. MIR Team members do not have access to any privileged information about other DU members.

We plan to introduce the new MIR Team on Tuesday February 3.

For much more information about the MIR Team, click here!

NOTE: If you are a current MIR Team member who is eligible to serve next term, please do not state your intentions in this thread. Instead, use the thread in the MIRT forum. Thanks.

Any moles want to sign up?  :popcorn:

It's too much work for an unpaid position. I'm tired of banning the good dems for stepping out of line once, while being sure to let the moles slip through.

Heh.....mememememe :yahoo:
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

But this sounds suspicious, and Lord Marblehead EarlG even had it bold red lettering:

One wonders what's up with that.

5. I would be happy to volunteer and honored if you'd have me. Thank you.

The snobbish primitive doesn't need to be on any amateur mole-detection team.

She's a professional mole-detecting team all by herself, and a very good one.

<<<still weeps when thinking of the hordes of scamdy moles she caught, during the Scamdal (whose 10th anniversary, by the way, is only three months hence).

I could never figure out why Skins kept investing so much money into getting mole-detection software for the elusive enigmatic Elad, which was never as good as the snobbish primitive.

My mole is tired of MIRT, and isn't going to re-up.

My mole may be interested.  :-)

If I had a mole he or she might or might not be interested.
