I would like your support in joining our terrific Writing.SE moderation team; to work with them to divide the workload and make sure Writing continues to run smoothly, with all moderation tasks addressed in a timely fashion.

In my (near) year here, I’ve risen to become one of the most active users: I’ve asked 25 questions and answered 406. I comment frequently and welcome newcomers. I’ve edited 576 posts, retagged countless more, reviewed hundreds, raised 85 helpful flags, cast 1000+ votes, and am active in Meta, including running several weeks of a successful Tags of the Week promo.

I run multiple mailing lists, Facebook groups, and websites. My first mailing list, a support group for a particular health issue, began in 1990 and it’s still going strong, almost 30 years later.

Over the decades, I’ve run into pretty much every moderation issue imaginable. I focus on fairness, process, respect, caring, and—when absolutely necessary—a big hammer. My goal is a warm welcoming place free from harassment. A place where we can become better writers (or editors, teachers, publishers, etc) and exchange information about expressing ourselves through the written word.
