In reply to the discussion: We are now accepting new volunteers to serve on the MIR Team from July-October 2012 [View all]uppityperson
(115,885 posts)I am retiring and looking forward to a break, but it has been great being on MIRT. Learning how to work with others, how to get past our individual biases and listen rather than run roughshod over each other like is typical out in the forums. (I am not saying everyone does that, speaking about myself and what I've seen in becoming a team).
Learning about repeaters, spammers, all sorts of interesting things, and how to deal with people who come here to disrupt and not to disrupt. Learning about my own habits and patterns. Seeing how the MIRT part of the moderation IS done from the inside. Learning about forums that I never went to before. Learning more about other DUers.
And by working together, making friends of posters I didn't think possible.
Give it a try.
