If cowboy has tagged her phone as fake photos don't you think you should just stay away from them? Why bother asking??

If the members here would use the "REPORT" icon more we would have less problems. If someone is being a dick in chat you can PM me about it (Include a time and details - copy and paste the chat log to me as well even). Keep in mind that guys like Cowboy Kenny who find the bait and switch ads for you all are a HUGE help to everyone (and we all appreciate his efforts) but you must take the good with the bad. This brings cerb to the attention of the bait and switch people and I (and many of you) suspect a lot of the problems could be from these people who are trying to intentionally disrupt the cerb site and discredit people on this board (Especially the top members). If someone is slandering someone else in chat or in the forums or in PM's you just have to let me know and I will deal with them. I can view his/her IP and ban them. Sure they could come back but we could create a public bulletin about this stuff. The senior/elite members have proven themselves here so we can stand behind them and of course we will always back up the SP's as well (the ones that have verified not the brand new ones to the board as they must prove themselves first as well). The site is growing every day (and that is a good thing as it brings new members - valued members - but it also brings more bad people that we need to weed out) but we need the cerb community to help police the site (the ladies and gentlemen that love this site and want to make sure it keeps the integrity). Some of the guys who sit in chat are not interested in talking to other guys (DEAL WITH IT) they may just want to sit quietly and see what goes on in chat... unless they are spamming, slandering, being rude, etc.. why do you care? Just leave them alone and ignore them if they are just watching (that is part of chat room culture). It's silly and annoying when people complain about these people (they are not doing anything wrong). If someone is purposely trying to cause problems... ranting in public about it will not solve the problem (in fact it will add to the problem as you give others the same idea and also you show the instigators that the efforts they are putting out are having effect). Instead we should work together to remove and ban those people and IP addresses. I can't read minds or your private PM's (unless someone REPORTS the PM so that it brings it to my attention and I can than read it) I can not watch chat 24 hours (or the shoutbox) I can not read every thread ever posted. I try to read as much as time permits but I rely on you all to let me know (Again click the the PM's to me). REPORT thread icon) when someone is causing a problem. IT'S YOUR SITE AS MUCH AS OURS. If you want to call this home you must help keep the unwanted people out. I DO read EVERY PM that is sent to me and I do as much as I can to make sure the integrity of the site is kept high. The rest is up to you as the community.

Easy one... Precognitive & Presentiment (able to perceive things and emotions in the future) So I know when not to.... (1) pick up the phone when someone is calling to complain or yell (2) open a email/PM/etc of someone who is complaining or being a pain in the ass! and basically avoid unpleasant things that corrupt my good nature. ;) Usually I just hang up on these people or ignore them but it still often leaves me feeling uneasy and affects my mood for the rest of the day. It probably is not good business to just hang up on people who piss me off (or ignore the emails/pm's) but if it means the rest of the people I deal with that day see "happy me" it's worth it. Sure would be nice to avoid these all together however. I am sure most of the guys are thinking "the ability to make my penis bigger at will" after Angela's comment - (You are probably alienating yourself a little with these comments but to each their own right) LOL

Why so negative. Give the poor girl the benefit of the doubt here. That is not a very warm welcome.

Hi JuiceyBerry. I have a very big concern about your post. My suggestion would be to read as much as you can here on cerb and take any "Advise" you get from this post (or PM's you received) and research the advise VERY WELL - Posting this shows everyone how green you are and I don't want to see you taken advantage of. Asking for information like this in public is not the best way to get involved in this business. By posting a thread like this you are openly inviting "bad" people to exploit your situation. You will receive lots of good info I am sure as we have some GREAT members here but... being new to the business and posting asking for help you will also attract the BAD people and you may not be able to distinguish the good from the bad info so please RESEARCH any advise you are given very well. You may get offers of recruitment from agencies (or some guy or girl who "wants to help you out") or any number of things. By reading the threads on this site you will see that what is acceptable and not acceptable in this business and you will also help to educate yourself and know what (and who) to avoid. This business is full of amazing people but it also attracts some very bad people so you must always keep your safety in mind at all times and don't beleive everything people will tell you. You will probably have people trying to book appointments with you through this one post. I would encourage you to avoid booking with people until you know for sure this business is for you.... and if the requests for bookings come from this site you may want to research the guy who is making the request (see what he has posted here on the site in the past, see what the other ladies say about him, view his profile here, check his reputation level here, etc...) Before you get involved in the business please learn as much as you can ahead of time (reading and researching) so you are not taken advantage of or end up in a bad or uncomfortable situation. What may seam like a easy way is not always the best way. Just be careful, don't take short cuts, don't beleive everything your told and safety should always be your number one concern. If someone offers to help you get involved in this business you can ask them questions but keep in mind that some of these offers may come from someone who sees this as an opportunity to profit from you (pimp) so be on guard for that as well.

Many people get cold soars (Yes, these are herpes and they come out when your immunity level goes down - usually due to a cold). Almost 80% of people have this virus but not everyone breaks out. If you do break out with the herpes blisters you know in advance (at least a few hours) as you will get a slight burning feeling (Some describe it as slight pain or discomfort in the area that is infected). If you tell your doctor you can get a him/her to prescribe a medication to help prevent a outbreak (Mind you the drugs are very expensive) but when you feel the burn you can run out and get the prescription and take it as soon as you feel this slight burn. If you take the drugs before you get the blisters you will most likely not have any outbreak or the outbreak will only last a few days and be very small. They also have daily medication you can take for genital herpes and helps a great deal to stop outbreaks. No CURE exists at this time just treatment. When the virus is burning and forming the blisters in your skin it is actually VERY contagious at that stage (even before any signs of it appear) and remains highly contagious until the blisters go away. (Same holds true for genital and oral herpes). This is what makes oral sex VERY risky for genital herpes transmission. None of the ladies would touch you or bj you if you have signs of herpes (or warts) and most of them know what to look for... but herpes can go undetected and still be contiguous so it is more risky. Any responsible person would refrain from contact at this time but obviously some people would not care. Good thing is the ladies reputation is IMPORTANT to them and if someone was working and was having a outbreak they would quickly be exposed online for this sort of thing. (Same with warts and other sti's/std's you can carry and be aware of it). Guys... a quick way to make the BAD DATE lists is to show up on a call with warts, herpes, or anything that looks like you have a STD/STI. The ladies will report this to the BLACK LISTS to warn other ladies. It does not happen often but it does happen. The smart ladies take a good look and inspection on your "junk" before anything serious starts to take place. If you have something noticeable they will defiantly stop the call and ask you to leave (and probably advise you to see a doctor). It would be very embarrassing for you (much worse than going to the walk in and getting your problem taken care of).

Well... we run the site and we pronounce it with soft "c" but since the "C" stands for "Canadian" I could see why some would pronounce it as "kerb" due to the "Kan" sound the "C" is representing. The thought of it being pronounced as "kerb" never crossed our minds here - we just always called it with a soft "c". So the official pronounciation would be "serb" (soft 'c')

I can't see that happening. someone probably posted this to make people even more mad at Bell and Telus.... but they do a good job making people mad at them themselves.

The angles are good but the color is very cold. Does your camera have a "white balance" or "color temperature" settings? If not I would suggest getting some natural daylight into the room (as much as possible) as you don't really want the images to be cold (Blue) from florescent lights (or not enough light) or saturated with yellow's from regular light bulbs. Some camera's have a color temp adjustment for regular lightbulbs, florescents and low light and it makes a huge difference. You can run a warming filter on the photos as well in photoshop that will help but blue skin caused by underexposure and the wrong lighting is very hard to correct after the shot has been taken. I picked up a portable light kit with 2 softboxes with stands and a third floor stand with all with portable flash heads and model lights. The kit came with a nice bag and sets up in a few minutes. It also all runs as slave to your camera's flash, each other by a light sensor or by remote. It's not a good idea to use the wired remotes direct to your SLR so I also picked up a remote control that sits on the camera's flash dock that triggers all the lights with a remote signal. The set up works great when you do off-site shoots (and it beats lugging around a spedotron set - sure the quality is not the same as the spedotron system but it's a lot better than just the camera flash) Natural day light is still the best (and sometimes the hardest) to work with. A good light meter goes a LONG WAY too.

When you reach 100+ posts your account allows you to place notes on other users profiles. These notes are only viewable by you (and of course the admin/mod accounts). No one really uses the notes system but the option becomes available after 100+ posts.

Yes, it is. The municipalities can license "Escorts" but it's illegal for them to license "Prostitutes" as that would fall under the "Living off the avails of prostitution" (AKA: Pimping) part of the law. So the cities find creative ways to define the term "Escort". If the lady is careful and says "I am not an escorts I am a prostitute" in her advertisements and never charges for dinner dates and social calls she would not fall under this "Escort" definition. They still get charged but the judges throw the cases out when the lady says "I am not a escort by the cities definition I am a prostitute".

A social rate is a great idea however in some cities as this would fall under the "Municipal escort license guidelines" as a defined by the by-laws and would require you to have a "escort license". If your meeting is for a sexual encounter your a prostitute and not an actual escort by city definition. If you take money for a "Non-sexual date/meeting" you would be a "Escort" by the cities definition. (Calgary, Winnipeg, Windsor, etc... - any city with a municipal escort by-law license). As a prostitute if the city charges you under the by-law and your intention was not sexual encounter you would have no argument for the judge and would end up having to pay the municipal by-law fee and the fine (can be a few thousand dollars). If you plan to discuss sex options or anything prostitution related in this "Social rate time" make sure it is in private and NEVER IN A PUBLIC PLACE (That is illegal under the criminal laws)

Assuming different options are available with GFE or PSE will only make you mad when you find out these are not available from some ladies. GFE and PSE are "STYLES of SERVICE" and not actual services!! You CAN NOT assume PSE or GFE include any specific services. STYLES.... Mechanical Style: This means no chemistry and just what it is (Sex) no illusion of lust or passion. GFE: Girl friend experience (Does not include specific services) this is a style of date where chemistry is tried to be created, feelings of lust and passion. Usually includes kissing and a more intimate fantasy. The lady appears (and often is) genuinely interested in pleasing you and often enjoys being pleasured as well. PSE: Porn star experience (Does not include specific services) this is also a style of date. It is not a romantic/passion/chemistry type encounter it is like what you see in the porn movies (A little dirty and hardcore) SAFE PSE/GFE: means condoms are used for oral sex (and possibly DATY protection is used) - Some girlfriends and porn stars insist on condoms for everything too guys! CONDOMS are used IN ALL STYLES (Some people assume condoms are not used with these styles as often real girl friends and porn stars do not use condoms). DO NOT ASSUME THIS AS YOU WOULD BE VERY WRONG - IT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX! You guys who assume services are included in these styles are setting yourself up to be let down. Just because one lady offers specific services (and possibly markets it as GFE/PSE does not mean the next lady will offer the same services. They are usually similar as a really good GFE would include kissing, bbbj and some touching and rubbing to build chemistry and fantasy. If you feel she is actually attracted to you and into the encounter she may be (or she may be VERY good at her job - just go with it!) Don't EXPECT any services - always ask or research first and if you show up with bad breath, rotten teeth, bad hygiene or dressed like a bum chances are you are going to be even more disappointed. In Addition: One of the ladies PM'd me to mention that one of the reasons ladies may not kiss is from being unshaven. A lot of stubble can do a girl some major damage. I would assume this to be true with DATY as well with some.

Some details as to what you are looking for would probably give you a better result here. You do know this is not a dating site right?

Hi Emma, when your in chat right click on any WHITE area and a menu should appear with a "Settings" option. Click this setting option and you should see a webcam icon. See if your webcam is in the drop down menu and select it. You could have another capture program or device on the computer that is being used as the default. For more help with this and trouble shooting your camera you should see this page http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html The chat runs on a program called FLASH (Made by Adobe) and this link will take you to the page about getting your web cam to work with flash.

Hi Ryoma, Too many people call and try to waste the ladies time on the phone "Chatting" or just tying up their time... so most of the ladies will not permit this. Lots of lonely guys and even more guys who are amused with annoying the ladies are out here so if you try to keep them on the phone they will assume you are one of these types of guys and avoid you. So... "getting to know" the ladies is part of the experience. You should formerly book your time and spend the first 10 minutes (or more) of your time "getting to know" the lady better. (Not on the phone). You are contracting the ladies for their time (this includes the time you spend "getting to know them" if that is what you like to do). By assuming you get a free 10 minutes on the phone with each booking is very wrong. It's a "cash up front" business and what you do with your time is up to you (as long as the lady is ok with what you are into as well of course). Before making the booking you should research the lady on cerb and the more recommended she is the better time you are probably going to have. Also make sure she offers everything you are interested in. If you can not find out from cerb, her advertisements or her personal website (if she has one) you can ask before making your booking (Not all ladies will discuss options on the phone or email however so if you can not find your answer maybe post the question here for other members to answer for you like "Does Jenny123 offer daty and dfk" (See FAQ area of cerb for these and more abbreviations). As a newbie you want your first experience to go smooth and be comfortable. Find yourself a recommended lady who is extra good with new clients and book her for at least an hour (maybe 2 or more would be better if you like to talk and get to know the lady - the exceptional ladies will take lots of time answering your questions and making you feel very comfortable).

Diva's has been suspended from the site for posting fake photos - Thanks CK

It's just odd when our admin system is telling us that timzawastin and Britney Collins are sharing the same computer. I guess it could mean that Tim was over at Britney's place (or visa-versa) and logged into cerb using the other's computer... but you would probably have to be very good friends (beyond client/sp friendship) to do this. Some of the members remember Britney and like her so I am not concerned that timzawastin and Britney Collins have logged in using the same computer at this time ... but let it be noted that I think this is a SHILL post from timzawatin and his account will be suspended but since others have added to this recommendation I will move it out of the recommendations for now and see if anyone puts a new one in.

Thanks YoungStud, I moved the posts over to the same thread.

Mac's do get infected but it's rare as they are really not targeted by the people who write virus's. If your going to spend the time to write a program like a virus you want it to infect as many computers as possible... since most people use PC's and windows makes them a easy target it's just the obvious choice. Virus's written for "Windows" will not effect the MAC or any Unix based machine (Linux/Mac/Solaris/sgi/etc..). Mac's can get spyware and malware as well and if you run windows virtually on your mac it is just as risky as running a regular copy of windows. Unix machines (Keep in mind that a MAC is UNIX based) can get what is called a "rootkit" installed (trojan/virus). This would take over the root user and give full access to the machine. A Mac OSX malware known as Opener is a rootkit. It contains a variety of destructive functionality including a keylogger and backdoor components. If you suspect your MAC may have a rootkit you can install a Rootkit Hunter program to find out. Problem is if you have a rootkit installed you need to format and reinstall as you will never clean in fully. When a unix machine is hacked - it is impossible to clean as anyone with root access can hide everything they did making it impossible to track what is and is not infected.

Norton is excellent but a resource PIG. It will significantly slow down your system (as Brandi had noticed). It was bad years ago and just seams to be getter more and more demanding (I guess as the computer technology increases the speed of the computers the symantic company takes advantage of this and makes norton even more powerful) if your running a brand new computer with power (Duo or Quad processor and lots of ram) you probably will not notice Norton (especially if it came pre-installed on your system) but if you have a computer that is a little older (even 2 years old) you will probably want something less taxing. If you need top level security and are willing to sacrifice speed and performance for this I would say Norton is a good choice but if your computer is slow you may want to try something like avg or avast (they are decent scanners and the companies keep them up to date but they run at much lower overhead). Keep in mind that norton (or any other antivirus program) will not protect you 100%... Most people get the false idea that because they have a antivirus they can open email attachments and stuff. THIS IS NOT TRUE! - the antivirus gets updates (preferably daily or twice a day even) and if you open a email attachment BEFORE the antivirus program has the ability to detect it you are going to get infected. Those UPDATES are virus database definitions and a few thousand people (or sometimes millions) get infected before the antivirus companies can get a virus definition out to the public... so you are NEVER 100% safe with ANY OF THEM. Really, you can prevent most virus's by 1) Not opening email attachments 2) Not installing pirated software 3) Not installing software from the internet RECAP: Most virus's are spread BEFORE the antivirus companies have a cure for them. This is done by email and software (usually P2P like limewire) I use AVG and AVAST on the PCs at my home and AVG on my computer at work (I prefer AVG). I really like f-secure as well but had problems running it on my last PC. I don't run any antivirus on my MAC or on my LINUX machine. In fact I like to open the virus's up on the linux machine and try to figure out what they do. LOL.. .
