Say hello to our new MIR Team!

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.

We have a lot of turnover this term, because many members on our most recent MIR Team just served three straight terms in order to help cover the period from election day through the inauguration. A big thank you to all who too part over the past several terms, and also to our new and returning MIR Team members, who were selected on a first-come-first-served basis.

The MIR Team, February 2025 - May 2025

So grateful that we have so many capable people willing to volunteer. And to those departing, thank you for your fantastic service (during a very difficult period, I'm guessing).

You are so appreciated!
