I'd like to apply for job as moderator. I've actually done so before but didn't know if the message was received or not.

I do help run a fan board, and while we tend to be quite lenient with what we allow to be posted there, I can step in and "moderate" where needed. That hasn't gotten me friends, but sadly, online we do need moderation in some form. I know that will not be well received, but I've been around boards long enough to see what works and what doesn't. And, sadly, the ones that I've seen with moderators who care, behind the scenes, gently steering the ship, are still in existence. The board that I currently help run came out of a situation where everything was allowed and that basically caused it to self destruct. Plus, it made many of the people on the board have bitter feelings toward one another. The current board is a fun place, I think, and the show it's about hasn't even been on the air since the eighties. But it took a lot of work to get it to what it is today. And I, for one, am rather proud of that.

I haven't been to this board for a while for a number of reasons, but one of the main ones being that when I post it doesn't seem like its received at all or the thread is hijacked and run away with.

I've enjoyed "meeting" Stewart here and getting to know about his acting career and what he shares of his life. I know he comes across as "harsh" sometimes, but I usually agree with most of what he says. (Although I couldn't put together my thoughts and arguments as eloquently). He doesn't have to let us come here and he doesn't have to post here himself. But he does because he cares about the board, his fans, and life.

The fact remains that it IS Stewart's place. He lets us post here and I for one am glad he does. So here is my application for moderator, such as it is. I've never been great at "selling myself". I'm just a plain, simple person who learns and can do a job well.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Stewart. I appreciate them, even if I don't always respond.

I do think, that to do as I think you want done on this board, that it will require a change of venue. It does not seem to me that voy is capable of it, although I don't know much about how voy works so I may be wrong.
