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..

(9,901 posts)I'm pretty sure they won't issue me a very powerful laser.

(39,343 posts)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.

any idea how this new removal team is working out?
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,681 posts)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.
