If he stops flirting, we put pressure on the admins to fire him.  :rofl;  However, I'm of the opinion that flirting comes as naturally to RM as breathing.

Thank you all for the supportive messages.

I was *very* surprised to get the kind request to join the team a week or so ago and spent a bit of time pondering the question - weighing up what I could contribute as a mod, or even if I should - in the end I decided to give it a go - to help out the moderation team where I could - when you have guys like Karol and Sluff who work damn hard to keep things going if I can do a little bit to take some load off that would be good to help. Plus me being in a totally different timezone to you other guys I thought that might also help to add some coverage to when the US side is asleep(though I am not sure Karol ever sleeps!!! :) ).

As for the flirting and stuff... hey you can't keep a good man down - plus I most certainly would have any mod hat OFF when I'm flirting so that's all good!! :)

I just want to contribute to the site and help keep it a great place. Not interested in causing disputes or problems for members. Hopefully anything I do will be invisible to most people (except the odd formatting fix up, or that sort of thing) so... basically carry on as usual.

Anyway initially I have a lot to learn so I won't be jumping into anything!!! :)

hey it's awesome. I can still flirt with the women of IHD, and now I have this impressive moderators hat it gives an air of almost authority.. kind of like a nice uniform. Girls like a man in uniform I believe......  :rofl;

Don't worry Paris, I only watch over *some* girls as they sleep at night.... (and yes I know I'll be in trouble for THAT line!!  :rofl;)

my love to you all!  :cuddle; :cuddle; :cuddle; :cuddle; :cuddle; :cuddle;  :waving; :waving; :waving;  :urcrazy;

Yes, Paris, I bought everything the bonus check afforded me..... :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; I'm still waiting for the attractive woman to give me the bonus bonus check... and in that case my uniform will be my birthday suit!  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

I am shaking with anticipation...really, I am.  I just can't believe it.  There were times when he seemed so down, as though his ever-present optimism was just an act (and I think at times, it was.  He's only human like the rest of us...)
