Comments like this on cerb will only upset the ladies! If you want them to join in the site and contribute here with you then you need to respect the prices they set. If you find a price too high for your budget then you quietly move on to find someone in your price range. Telling someone that 200.00 is too steep is insulting. The ladies have every right to choose and set rates and you have every right to not call them if you find this price out of your price range... that just leaves the higher priced ladies to a more select number of men (who are willing to pay a premium compared to you). You do not however have the right to insult the ladies here with comments like this so please DO NOT do it.

That is a big thread to just delete. I would suggest that someone (maybe eve) go to that thread and let anyone who pull it out of the archive know that this rate was a introductory rate into the business. I only pull threads if they break the rules. Pulling threads that so many people have contributed on would not be appropriate.

moved again. thanks

Thanks for pointing this out. I will move it now.

Sorry I forgot to post it again. Doing it now.

Set poll to close after 30 days

Due to the scams and bait and switch stuff that happens on the CL site in most cities we limit the references to this site to CL (Nothing more as we don't want people to find that site if they do not already know about it). It's a free classified site and because it is free all the bad scammers use it but occasionally a few good ones use it too.

The reason why they do it is because it makes them money so you are absolutely correct.

The poll was set up to allow you to vote on multiple choices.

We have that. Each city has a forum for schedules and announcements for the SP's to advertise in and a open discussion forum for Massage, one for escorts/courtesans and now ottawa has one for stripclubs as well. we also have a general discussion area for all of Canada, a jokes area for all of Canada and a private SP only area. I am thinking that some people are finding the site hard to navigate maybe? Are you having trouble finding these areas? At the top of the page you should see this (It shows you where you are by nested categories) CERB - Canadian Escort Recommendation Board (100% SP Friendly Board!) Cities > Ottawa Ontario > Courtesan / Escort Discussion for Ottawa If you click on the Ottawa Ontario area this is the discussions specific to Ottawa. The one you are in now is for escorts Courtesan / Escort Discussion for Ottawa and if you wanted to look at schedules and announcements for the ladies you would look at Ottawa Female Service Providers - Schedules, Advertisements & announcements and if you click the CERB - Canadian Escort Recommendation Board (100% SP Friendly Board!) link it brings you to the MAIN INDEX of all the cities and general discussion areas. Here are the current forums specific to Ottawa Ottawa Recommendations - New Feature! Ottawa Female Service Providers - Schedules, Advertisements & announcements Ottawa Male/Shemale/TV Service Providers - Schedules, Advertisements, Announcements & Discussion Courtesan / Escort Discussion for Ottawa Stripclub Discussions for Ottawa Massage Discussion for Ottawa Here are the current forums for general discussions (non-city-specific) Thread of the bi-weekly awards VALUED MEMBER AWARD SP AWARD General Discusion Area - all of Canada Jokes Definition of Escort, Courtesan, SP. Service Provider, Callgirl, Etc... Apply for access here to the SP ONLY area Warnings (Bait and Switch + Fake Photos + Dangerous Encounters)

Polls only hold 10 and can't be changed once the votes start (would mess up your results) and hell the rest can just be included as they are now in the thread. It is a discussion forum after all not a election. ;0)

Hi Dave, maybe a online photo portfolio or some escort references would be a good idea to include here (and some contact info)

Hmm, can you PM me some links to show me some sites that do this so I can get a better idea of it? I am all for expanding the site if it's something that would be beneficial for sure.

I made this into a poll for you secret_admirer as your PM to me said you wanted a poll. I also broke down the choices to 10 for you as many people have a VERY different opinon on stuff like DATY compared to DATO and CIM compared to COB and COF... and I think the biggest of those was CBJ or BBBJ so again I seperated them for you. The poll is set to allow the guys to choose the ones he looks for (Multiple choice) this will give you a idea of what most guys want... and will show the ladies what is the most popular so I think the ladies would probably like to see what the general conceses is as well.

We do have that here Valarie, it is however a private area for verified service providers only (the posts are not public) - it includes heath questions, general discussion for sp's only and a area for bad date info. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=14

We have had this same conversation here a few times now. Stay away from it and if you give them your credit card info before reading this you may want to cancel the card and get a new one.

Q&A forum? Give me some more details of what you have in mind?

Yes, any service provider can advertise here for free as long as they follow the rules listed in the FAQ area. If someone advertises here and gets caught using fake photos or deceitful/misleading info they will be exposed for this and will be removed from the site. You do not need to be part of an agency. E.C. is also for anyone who if honest and advertises with integrity. E.C. has paid ads only and gets massive traffic but if someone pays for an ad and gets caught doing something they should not be doing (Bait and switch, etc...) the ad is pulled without refund so it keeps many of the CL scammers away. Pm me if you (or anyone) has questions.

If you post real photos and offer quality services I would suggest that you stay away from CL. You can post here for free in the announcements section and ads are cheap on escorts-canada (especially for the return on your investment - but out company owns escorts-canada so saying this I am being a little biased). The sun works ok from what we are told but I find it VERY expensive (Defiantly the most expensive place in Canada that I know of for escort classifieds - it's shocking the ladies don't drop the sun alltogether).

The software that runs the CERB website has a big security update tonight. If anyone notices anything not working or out of place please PM me right away and let me know. (Sometimes bad things happen after these updates that I don't find right away). Thanks. P.S. any of you who were silly enough to use your username and password as the SAME will have problems logging in as your password would have been resent. Check your email and if you don't see a new password PM me.

Things like this do happen and is a BIG reason why we don't allow negative posts here on CERB. it was just a matter of time till someone starting stealing the legit ladies info and discrediting them with fake photos. The people in this business fear the competition cause they do not understand how good competition is for them. (Plus most of them do not have a business background). I guess if you make everyone look bad then the ones who are bad will just blend in. it's like the radar detector... and the radar detector detector... then the radar detector detector detector... and the radar detector detector detector detector... LOL... it just keeps going and going.. Once you call them out the scammers will find new ways to scam people. Nothing you do will stop them (hell we have been looking for ways for 12 years now) and everything we do try to do will just make them find more devious ways to do the same thing or something worse. On EC in Winnipeg the bait and switch is so bad that we are asking all the new ladies to VERIFY photos with us (so they send the photos and a verification photo so we know the photos are real and not stolen) then we still get complaints from the guys... turns out the girls all work off the same ad to save money... so sometimes the guys will get the correct girl and other times they get someone 20 years older and 100lbs different in size then the lady in the photo!! Seriously! They change phone numbers each month, change names, change emails, etc... etc.. we just can not stop them - all we can do is pull the ads when we catch them and it just starts over again. Looks like the scammers in Ottawa have found a different way to screw with you guys... (or) ... maybe Bridget is not telling the truth? How do we know for sure?? (Bridget, I am just using this as an example - it is not really directed at you or an attack on your person - we just don't know for sure who you are since this site is anonymous) No way to win but maybe this will push the legit ladies off CL and as far as I am concerned that is a good thing! Let the scammers have CL and discredit so badly that they ruin it for everyone. That way the legit escorts will continue to run real ads on sites like escorts-canada (that believe in integrity of online escort adverting). I have hated CL since say one for these reasons yet so many guys still flock to it... if all the ads have fake photos then it's going to be a crap shoot for anyone who uses it.

I have heard rumors of a place in Ottawa that does care. I forget the name of the hotel but they tear out the escort pages in the yellow pages in each room.

If anyone finds out if this is in Canada or just the USA let us know. So far it looks like just the USA but chances are they will charge the 10.00 for everyone.

I am glad you feel more comfortable but I should mention that you should not take my advise or any one here's advice on legal issues (I am no lawyer or judge nor to I claim to be an expert - I have read the laws but that also does not make me a expert) for legal reasons I need to state that these comments are just my personal opinion of how I personally interpreted the law in regards to these subjects... Good news is the law in regards to prostitution (criminal code of canada) is fairly easy to read so I would suggest to anyone with concerns to speak to read it and ask a real lawyer these questions and not believe what someone on a anonymous discussion board tells you. Also remember that all lawyers are not experts in these matters either, lawyers give clients bad advise all the time! I would not go to a divorce lawyer for advise on a criminal code matter so choose your legal council wisely too. Make sure they have experiencing defending clients under this act.
