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, and they serve for a three-month term.
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 on your Forums & Groups page, and in the left column of any page (if you view DU in "Standard" mode). New MIRT members (and veterans who need a refresher) should check out the "How To" threads pinned to the top of the MIRT forum.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered! Volunteers were selected on a first-come-first-served basis.

It's the alerters that stay anonymous. If you fear someone being on your jury, you can get that person eliminated from being called to your jury.
Besides, that group is a protected group, they have rules and there is a mechanism for changing these rules. This protection actually opens up conversation and even if it didn't, it definitely cuts down on fights and bad behavior.
What is your real concern?

I appreciate the new rules and the work that must have gone into them.
