mod

The rep system does not have the ability to do this (Only the admin/mod) can do this but it could be something that is added in the future.

I can disable this if you wish in your CP only so that you can never see who gave you rep (or took some away) - If you don't want to see it that is fine but keep in mind that if you agree/disagree with a post your comments will show (well as long as this poll continues to show the way it is now). So when you post a comment (if you choose to) just be diplomatic in your comment and be truthful.

Thanks. I would still like to see more people using the chat but I too am VERY happy with the success of the chat so far. I really don't think it's caught on fully yet but it's coming along nice and the latest updates to the software are really working well. I still can't fix the bug that Paige pointed out to me. When you go into PRIVATE chat it always says your talking to a man (Male or Female) and I asked the programmers and they told me this could not be fixed and that we need to add a option to our forum in the CP PANEL to indicate male/female so I am working on fixing this one still. (Not a easy fix)

Really this section is for bait and switch (Fake photos) dangerous encounters and big scams/rip offs (Credit card fraud or such). You met her and got poor service (Sounds more like a negative review than a warning) so let's keep her info off the site and if someone is curious they can PM you and ask. I know many people feel that this justifies a post in this section but this is a NO-NEGATIVE-REVIEW board and is not a point blank scam, bait and switch or dangerous encounter. Others reasons could exist as to why she did not go though with the full service. From the sounds of it you did get some services from her.

Chat is back online - needed a reload (whatever that means) lol... but it's working and if it happens again I know how to fix it

That is why the reputation system is now backed with a WEIGHT system. The MORE reputation you have the more your VOTE (Agree/disagree) will impact the person you agree or disagree with. New members (25 posts or less) or members with LOW reputation WILL NOT impact your reputation level (they can agree or disagree and you will see the notes but that will not impact your level in any way).

I have NO IDEA why it is not working. I sent out a whack of emails to the support guys. Seams the flash media server is acting up ... but I am sure they will get to the bottom of it. Sorry folks.

I am actually hoping that the reputation becomes more serious and not just something to play with. Remember everyone here is anonymous so having some way to give credibility is important. Sure the guys with 1000+ posts and the guys like cowboy who find all the b&s posts do not need the rep points as they are already trusted members but with the site gaining popularity it's something that is necessary or more shills and more fake negative comments will start showing up (and you need some credibility to beleive anything too good to be true or negative) it's something that these discussion boards lack. Some really trustworthy recommendations have come in from guys with only 3 or 4 posts... let them know you appreciate the recommendation and let others know that the recommendation was legit. It takes 2 seconds of your time to agree with the post and this way the high post count will not be the only indication of who can be trusted.

Hi Massey you have only 2 posts (including this one) and both are of negative context (in two different cities). We appreciate the warnings but in order to have the warnings taken seriously by our members (and not flagged as slanderous or unjustified) you need to build up some reputation here. You do this buy posting some positive recommendations or join in with some information in the discussion area's. Cerb really is not for posting negative comments. I think you should append to this post some more information about the encounter. The more details the better but be sure you are not being slanderous.

Fair enough, I made it a poll and we can all vote (Majority wins). I started with it hidden and a number of people complained so lets make it a public vote. P.S. I have made it clear that if anyone fights on cerb (including the chat room) they will be suspended from the site. If someone is abusing the reputation system they will also get suspended from the site. If you feel the need to disagree with someone's post than please leave a comment to explain why you disagree. If someone disputed the reputation (suspects it is being abused) and asks me to look into it the first thing I am going to do is read the comments you made as to why you disagreed with that person on that post. If you are disagreeing just to lower a persons reputation (without a valid reason) that would be abusing the system and we don't want members here who would do this so your efforts will be for nothing and you will loose your cerb membership.

May the force be with you. Good morning Vietnam Go ahead, make my day. Bond.... James Bond I could go on all day with this one...

Visit the Ottawa recommendations section (You will find a lot).

I moved your question to the reputation thread drlove. This thread (back one page - my post) explains how and why.

Thank you WrinkledinTime. That is correct, she has not confirmed yet but before anyone jumps to any conclusions not everyone has proper legal ID. I have had ladies email me 1 or 2 months later with proper ID asking to get back in and they just did not have it at the time. Not everyone has a drivers license, passport or a age of majority card and I will not accept the photo heath cards as proof of age.

No, it is NOT my responsibility to check ID for you. If you end up with a SP who appears to be underage ask her for ID. If she says NO you should leave. If you met her on this site you should PM me and tell me (I will than ask her myself at this point) I have no intention of checking everyone's ID at the door until we find a way to serve alcohol virtually. Again NOT my responsibility, when you agree to use this site you agree that you are at least 18 years of age or older. If the girl lies and registers a username than she is breaking the site rules but until someone questions that (and has good reason to question it) I DO NOT want to get involved. I am not require to check ID and have no intention to do this voluntarily. Way too much work for me and it's your responsibility not mine.

Stuff like the network card may require specific drivers. You need to find out what network card you have in the machine and download and install the driver. Windows DOES NOT come with all the available drivers... and even the ones it does come with are usually out of date so you have to download the new ones and update them. (This is a big reason why people like MAC's).

- WORK IN PROGRESS - I AM STILL WORKING OUT THE BUGS! This is a WORK in PROGRESS your points MAY GO UP AND DOWN while we figure this one out but I do think we have the right settings now. I am trying to IRON OUT THE BUGS... consider it a BETA TEST PROGRAM. HOW IT WORKS: when you AGREE with someones post you ADD to that persons reputation (The amount you add to that persons reputation is based on how many rep points you have - the more bars you have the more you can impart others reputation as you would be seen as a trusted member) when you DISAGREE with someones post that can remove a tiny bit of the other persons reputation away from that person (about 1/2 of what you have the power to give someone). Now we have all have been fooling around with it (Especially dummpy and a few others) and when I had the wrong info typed in it accidently gave dummpy the power to really impact people's reps (This was all REMOVED and all users account were FIXED and adjusted).

Now some people's bars are showing up all red??? This is new.... Man I can't figure this thing out!! URG!

Looks like most of the bugs are worked out now with the reputation system. I reset the reputations to what I thought were good levels (deleting the 200+ rep points that dummpy and some others were passing around - that was a goof on my part I had the weight set to 1 reputation power for every 10 posts and dummpy had so many posts that it was giving me insane reputation weight) but seriously I think the bugs are out. So let start using it well. If you agree with a post (ESPECIALLY A RECOMMENDATION) than click the scales and AGREE and enter a comment. If you disagree with a post (ESPECIALLY A RECOMMENDATION) than click the scales and DISAGREE and enter a comment. If you have enough reputation your AGREE or DISAGREE will impact the posters reputation. If you are NEW or have little or no reputation your post will NOT increase or decrease the post but the comment will still file against that person. Use it responsibly please. It will be for the benefit of everyone and it is set up to make the people who should be credible ... credible and those who are SHILL posting or posting crap not so credible. Keep in mind Now if someone states an opinion here by clicking the scales and disagreeing with that comment may impact the persons reputation. So... please DO NOT abuse that power. If someone is abusing the reputation power I can delete all the reputation votes from that person and turn off the reputation on that account (or suspend them).

You DO NOT want to take that chance. If her age is even remotely questionable you ask her to prove her age to you. It is your responsibility as an adult to ensure she is of legal age. If you are PAYING for SEX or any sexual contact she MUST be over 18 years of age. Be smart and NEVER take that chance - usually the underage sex workers are found on the streets and working with pimps but occasionally they make it online.

Ask her to show you ID, don't be surprised if she covers up her home address and real name but if she lets you see the photo and her age that would be the best. My suggestion if she refuses... run away! If she posts on this site, PM me and I will ask her to prove her age to me. I will give her 3 days to do so and if she does not reply back her account will be suspended until she does.

Intuition should not be relied on and safe sex does not prevent the spread of all sti's so some research on that should be in your list of things to do as well - just so you are aware of what to look for. If a guy has warts for instance you should know what to look for as a condom does not make you safe from everything. You can get oral herpe's and lots of other stuff as well so educate yourself and yes, regular testing is also a very good thing to do most cities have a free clinic for this. It's a dangerous business and you must use your head at all times and always be cautious. If someone tells you different they are lying. Let your intuition help but if you let your guard down you could end up in a bad situation. Every job has dangers unfortunately this business does attract some sick men who prey on women much more often than other business's. Escorts are service providers who provide sex for money (Prostitution). Prostitution is legal in Canada as long as you follow the law. I would suggest you research the laws cause if you break the law you could find yourself with criminal charges. If you are a RMT you may want to look at massage spa's. Some illegally run massage spa's offer sex and other sexual activities but most are just full body massage offering massage on the man's genitals until release. Also some spa's offer topless, nude and other "exotic" forms of massage. You do not need to have a RMT to work in these places but I am sure it would make yo more popular. These are considered body rub parlors and in some cities a license is required by the owner and the opperators. If you are caught working in one offering sex you could be charged. (Even if you are not offering sex yourself). Looks like you have a lot of reading to do - From your reply I figure you have not researched this business well enough yet. Keep reading... cause if you still think you can be an escort without having sex you definalty have not reasrched this business yet. In Canada the term "Escort" is a poliet way of saying "call girl" or "Prosititue" or "Service Provider" or "Sex Worker". No escort in Canada that I have ever heard of offers a date without sex, everyone knows that escorts are sex workers. (Well everyone except the silly munipalities that try to "License" escorts but tell them they can not have Sex with clients - these municipalies are just trying to make money off prostitution like a pimp does or they are tryign to scare the ladies out of town - either reason it's wrong) Sites exist that can help you with your 20 things list. http://www.walnet.org/ for instance. Use google and you will find many of these sites. If you can find a really reputable agency (Really research this one first however) you may want to work with them first (I am not suggesting this is a good thing to do but some ladies prefer to start out this way - some agencies however are not reputable so be VERY carefull with this one).

No, I wish! Would make it a lot easier to figure out what all the bloody settings are for for me! It's all trial and error. From my understanding based on your reputation your giving/removing reputation weight (or power) increase's or decrease's so if you have 1000 reputation points than when you give someone else reputation it would be like 50 points where if you only had 50 points yourself you would give them 1 point (it's all based on the most reputable people are the most trusted). New members start with 10 reputation points (So they have something to loose) and I think they need 25 points or more in order to have enough weight to give credit to another person. This stops a lot of abuse of course. It's a great conceapt but hard to configure on my end. No, it means someone with not enough weight agreed/disagreed with your post (I think) because they did not have any reputation they did not have enough weight at the time to impact your score in a postive or negative way. I reset the point that were "Padded" by me, I did this so I could test some features. Now I have to go fix the ones that others with LARGE weight (Dummpy!) made. LOL... I think he had enough weight to give out 200+ reputation in one shot. You will probably get boo'd. Reputation is VERY important on a site like this. For obvious reasons. This special weight/rep tier system really makes sure the reputation is erned. Well except for the last few weeks while we worked out the bugs...

Like I said (Work in progress) I am still learning how this complex system works. I actually sat down tonight with a friend and we tested and played around with it (Why your bar's have been going up and down all night Brandi). I think we worked out a lot of bugs and took a lot of your comments into consideration ... You can all now see who leaves you reputation (We will try that for now and see how it goes) you should not be able to see other peoples comments but you should be able to see who left you comments and who left you reputation in your UserCP (Latest Reputation Received) I removed the annoying and ugly "STARS" as they were silly (Didn't mean anything) If you have a score less than 0 your listed as not trusted by other members. I think a value of 100 is enough to say the other members TRUST you. If you reach 1000 reputation your account is promoted to a ELITE MEMBER account and when you reach over 1000 posts I will add the ELITE crown to your name here like a few of our members have already. WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT PM ME WHEN someone left you negative reputation... PLEASE.... chances are if they have LOW reputation it will not effect you much and some limits are put in place so they can not abuse it. If you think someone is abusing this continually than you can PM Me and I will look into it. If you waste my time complaining about comments people make to you privately about disagreeing with your threads I will not be happy. I am too busy already for that foolishness. The comments will remain private for now but I would suggest NOT saying anything you would not like anyone else to read here as this may change in the future. P.S. I gave myself 10000 points "GOD STATUS" (Cause I can) - Who say's I don't have a sense of humor!
