I what are the hours expected per day?

If I find I cannot decide on enough cases, should I resign, or would I be kicked off?

I have only reported a few folks in all my time here, so not sure how well I will do?

Some team members spend several hours daily "MIRTing" others pop in and out occasionally.

There are old heads on the team who've done this for a while that are willing to assist noobs.

Some of these folks have the patience of all the Catholic Saints and Bodhisattva Never Disparaging, combined.

You'll learn a lot about DU and (virtually) meet some good people

Sounds like I may be able, I am certainly willing.

On that team. People I didn’t normally interact with and it’s been nice.

Is there a time requirement?

Thanks.

I have way more than 6 months of membership, and am a star member, but I’m not a prolific poster, so I still haven’t gotten to 1000 (though I am closing in on it)

I’d like to help out if I’m allowed...

my term is over, but I'll be back;

I am a firm free speech advocate. I believe even the most firmly rabid right wing might actually have a valid point to make and a person who is far to the left of me, might be wrong on a particular topic.

when to rally fellow MIRT members. There's a difference between strong opinion in a post and a troll. MIRT has a wealth of knowledge and experience. There is a lot of support there.

I think you'd do well! The issues that I've seen over time (lurking, then as a free member and later as a star member) are that people from (that other site that need not be named) come over with an eye toward disruption. They're pretty easy to spot, I think.

Apply, and good luck!!!

I was a mod for quite a while back in the olden days. I spend a fair amount of time on DU. However, if you don't select me, my feelings won't be hurt.

if I still qualify.

The OP states:

"Members of the MIR Team are provided with tools to delete spam posted by people who have had their posting privileges revoked,.."

Question - how can people who have had their posting privileges revoked post anything? Do they try to sneak in under a new user name or use some other sort of subterfuge? If so, how would a MIR member detect it?

The OP also states MIRs are empowered to revoke posting privileges for disruptive folks which I understand but am wondering if it is done by majority vote or some other procedure?

Thanks

If someone joins to Spam the board (selling/promoting a product), they're not allowed to stay. Those are usually obvious.

And yes, MIRT works by consensus. It's a team effort.

Sounds like a good thing to do during the shutdown I think is coming

I don't think Congress is going to pass an extended CR that Doofus will sign by 12/11. Extended holiday break???

I read yesterday our Governor is threatening to put in another stay in place order for California.
That is what I was referring to.

Shutdown has a whole 'nother meaning for me!!!

Thank you!

While I have only been a registered member for a little while, and don’t have a ton of posts, I’ve been a lurker here since the early 2000s. I’ve also been an admin in a couple of sites before.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Thanks for asking.

Volunteer again

I expect MIRT will be busy over the next several months.

I haven't been on MIRT for quite a while. Thank you.

I'm up at 3am with insomnia. I can cover the midnight shift. Rookie has to start somewhere.
