Seriously DU!?!

[denbot]

When they asked for volunteers for the MIRT squad, I replied by asking if I would get a shark with a laser mounted on it's head..

The powers that be put me on MIRT..

Holy smokes there is a lot to learn before I can contribute to the team..

1. it takes a few days but you get the hang of it.

[NightWatcher]

2. what are you gonna name the shark?

[denbot]

3. I'm thinking blind-dee

I'm pretty sure they won't issue me a very powerful laser.

[NightWatcher]

4. talk about a "glass half empty" outlook

Even if you get a fricken shark with a fricken laser pointer on his head you should be excited.

Me, I would've held out for beer and travel money.

You'll get the hang of it.

8. My dear denbot!

You WILL get the hang of it!

It is very interesting work.

Hang in there...

[denbot]

9. I will be asking you questions and advice Miss CP

This is not going to be as easy as I imagined it would be.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. It gets easier with time.

Feel free to use me as a resource.

And talk to your team members too. Esp. the experienced friendly ones!

[Iggo]

11. Burn!

[Fearless]

12. Did you at least get the sharks with laser beams?

[petronius]

13. Hey, get in there! Your shift is starting, and it's the newbies' job

to feed the sharks (they get cranky when dinner is late)...

Welcome to the team!

15. what's the mirt squad/team? n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. MIRT=malicious intruder removal team.

If you look in Announcements, you'll see the thread about it.

They are responsible for removing newbie trolls.

[orleans]

19. that's so funny--and what a great idea

(hadn't heard of it)

any idea how this new removal team is working out?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. MIRT has been in place since the start of DU3.......

And it works great.

I served a term, and it was eye-opening. Trolls attack DU every day. Every. Single. Day.

Some are repeat offenders. They just keep coming back to make trouble here.

But we keep throwing them out. The site would be over-run if we didn't.

You should give it a try. There will be another term starting up in 3 months.

16. Here is a sea-bass.

No laser, but I hear he has an irritable disposition.

[Wait Wut]

18. That'll teach ya.

Sarcasm can be dangerous. Have a great time and remember one important fact...

I AM NOT A TROLL!!!!

[bluesbassman]

21. Hate to break it to you denbot, but newbs get a Nerf gun...

You don't get the laser shark until your second term.

Welcome to the team, you'll enjoy it.
