We are now accepting new volunteers to serve on the MIR Team from January - April 2013.

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 Thursday January 24.

[Xipe Totec]

36. I would be happy to take a turn.

Cheers!

[AverageJoe90]

37. I guess I wouldn't mind trying out for a position.

Besides, it might be a chance to better contribute to the community, I think.

[Matariki]

38. I'd like to volunteer again.

[Spazito]

39. I would like to volunteer if you need more people to help...

[patrice]

[awoke_in_2003]

43. I'd like to give it a try. nt

[harmonicon]

44. Sure, I'm up for it. Why not?

However, if it requires the same amount of online time as was asked of mods, I can't do it. It's just that there are times I have to be away from the computer for a few days for work, but when I'm not, I'm probably online more than most.

[Coolest Ranger]

45. I am up for it see my signature line

[progressoid]

46. Add me to the list.

I like to take out the trash.

[AverageJoe90]

47. EarlG, I would LOVE for the chance to be part of MIRT.

It's be a good chance for me to contribute more to this community.

[LeftishBrit]

48. I've been on MIRT in the past, and would be interested in doing it again, if there are spaces.

[likesmountains 52]

49. I'll try it!

[pinto]

50. I'd like to volunteer.

51. I would be willing to give it a try.

And I would also like to smack Beelzebub in the face with a snowball while I'm at it.

[atreides1]

52. I'd like to volunteer

[Lone_Star_Dem]

53. If you end up needing one more my next three months are open.

[gopiscrap]

54. I would be willing to serve

[mgardener]

55. I would like to volunteer

Do not know if I meet all the criteria, but I would like to volunteer

60. MIR

I am maybe looking at some back surgery soon so don't know how soon I would be able to start, but count me in. I smell an intruder before he starts to type.
Ironic that it is MIR because I have so much metal in my back already that I can't have an MIR anymore and would love to get one this way.

[AverageJoe90]

61. BTW, Earl, how many spaces are available?

Just asking......

[TrogL]

62. If you're short, I could give it a go
