Here's a suggestion:

Hi
I don't know if I'm overreacting to this, but I've seen alot of hitting on going on in the forums. I'm sure it's probably just in good fun, but it can be awkward or uncomfortable to some people, so I think you should leave the flirting for real life, not over the FishLore forum.
Thanks
Please feel free to disagree, it's just a suggestion

I think that even online dating is a bit of a stretch to be flirting on...
But hey, if you can't get any girls in real life, by all means try to get a internet girlfriend
No offense meant.
But seriously, I'm pretty sure most people get a bit uncomfortable being virtually hit on.

If any moderators happen to see this... or if anyone else knows...
Is there any sort of policy on this? If so, is it posted somewhere that's easily seen?
Thanks

We'll I've just seen it in the open forum so far. I mean I'm pretty sure it's harmless, but I think people should know what's appropriate.

Pinkfloydpuffer,

Flirting is not a very family friendly behavior and there are family friendly rules to the site. If you see something that makes you uncomfortable or that you think steps across the boarder of being "child friendly", then please, PM one of the moderators or just hit the little red and white icon on the bottom left of the post and fill in the 'reason' field appropriately.

Any of us moderators would be more than happy to take care of said problems.

Thanks CWC
I don't think alot of people on here are entirely aware of the rules here. Although they definitely should be, as they are told to when they register.

My internet goes down for a few hours, and see all I missed?

I'm sure it's been taken care of if you pm'd a mod, they're terrific.

Hehehe.

Sorta?

There are atleast 2 different ways that reporting a post in that way brings each moderator's attention to it.

I think I saw the post that pinkfloydpuffer is referring to. I was surprised and found it mildly amusing. But not hurtful. Just complimentary. Its a fine line this stuff.

Can you share it with us old ladies so we can remember what it's like to be hit on? lol

I know it wasn't bad or anything. But there was one yesterday that got the user banned because of it. So maybe we should just try to keep these things to ourselves. Flirt with the girls that you actually know please!

Come on. . .you know what it like to be hit on?
