parsborough 110 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 I have been a CERB Member for some some time (still a newbie compared with many poster)... reading but not posting. Mostly, I find CERB posts informative and helpful. On occassion they are not. For example, numerous posts re Sydney which were totally unhelpful... most if not all simply saying "no comment". If the one of the purposes of the CERB Board is for posters to provide accurate and true feedback of their experiences with service providers, then why not be forthright? Else, perhaps CERB could "publish" a list of "code terms" explaining what "no comment", among other terms, mean as used on the Board. Additionally, for Newbies, it would be helpful and desirable that posters "spell out" websites rather than referring to them as "HTE"; "SEA", etc. As a hobyist who has been at this for 5 years + I thought that I kenw nearly all of the relevant websites. Obviously I don't. One could expend hours mulling over in their mind what these acronyms could stand for! Just my thoughts. So what is HTE and SEA?? Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135640 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 1) Cerb does NOT allow negative comments so "NO COMMENT" posts are because they have nothing positive to say and you can PM them for more info. 2) Only a handful of escort directories are allowed to be posted here (See Below) other sites can NOT be posted (The system has a censor list of many of these sites so if posted it shows as XXXXXXX) so guys make up acronyms to identify the site for those who are already aware of the site. If you do not know the site they are referencing your probably better off not knowing. For instance CL stands for crags list (where the "erotic" ads were removed back in November 2010 due to all the underage and scams on that site) Allowed escort directories - www.escorts-canada.com - www.localescorts.ca - www.lyla.com These sites are owned and operated by the same company that owns cerb.ca (and pays for this site). 3) Finally... A list of acronyms can be found in the FAQ area for services plus a thread was started a few weeks ago with more. A simple search would find most of what you are looking for.
