11. I guess I've been gone too long.

I've heard reference to MIRT, and I get that it's some kind of...bot? Program? Can anyone tell me what it actually is?

12. No, it's made up of real live DUers and they are appointed every quarter or so:

Say hello to our new MIR Team!

by EarlG

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, and they serve for a three-month term. The members serving on the current team were selected on a first-come-first-served basis. (Note that we do not select anyone whose Transparency page is displayed.)

If you are a member of the MIR Team, you should have access to the access-restricted Malicious Intruder Removal Forum. It should appear as a red folder on your Forums & Groups page, and in the left column of any page (if you view DU in "Standard" mode).

Thank you to everyone who volunteered!

The MIR Team, October 2013-January 2014

13. OH, hey that sounds like a neat idea!

The T was for 'Team'. Here I was thinking it was like an acronym given to a bot, kind of like HAL. Thanks a ton, I had been wondering what it was for a little while now!
