Katherine of Halifax 113932 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 I am requesting a little help and understaning why a permantly banned member (Rebecca Love ) is still able to recieve Recco's on a board she has been banned on. Seems to me that this is a conflict here and I am not comfortable with it. I'd appreciate any comments and feeback. Thanks Cathy Hfxdom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevecurious 42059 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 I am still wondering why she was ever banned to begin with, but I guess we will never know. She was banned from Cerb for inappropriately using the PM system to solicit other ladies to join some "agency." This info. is outlined in a section of Cerb for members with 500+ post counts.

Seems to me that this is a conflict here and I am not comfortable with it. I believe part of the reason why banned or non Cerb members are allowed to have recommendations is the simple fact that in theory she (any banned SP) is a good SP who deserves the reco. that was written by a legitimate hobbyist, regardless of her rule breaking. He spent the time writing and posting it so why should his post count be punished for her faux pas. Plus if it is the first recommendation posted and there are subsequent recos. in the same thread all are lost. Having said all of that sometimes after someone is asked to leave there is an upsurge in new recos. for that lady... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katherine of Halifax 113932 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 If she has abused the rules here on CERB why should she be able to recieve recco's for a profile that does not exist anymore? On CERB she is a lady of the past, I for one don't understande why recco's are still going up on a menber that as proven herself unworthy of the rules and ethics on this board. After all she has been banned, I am very sure if I were banned I would just go away but perhaps that is just me, everyone is different and blessings to everyone. :-) We all make our beds and more or less lie in them. I guess its just me , but if I were banned i would feel very sheepish to even still on the boards. The beauty of the worls shines through, lets all have fun and love each other, Great weekend to all of you. Cath' xoxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Current policy is that Cerb is not a closed board. A lady does not have to be a member in order to be discussed or recommended. (A lady does have to be a member in order to advertise.) The wider the scope of information that is available here on Cerb, the more traffic will be attracted to the site. Contrariwise, if our community were to become more closed and insular about who can be discussed, there might be a greater tendency towards inward navel-gazing and potential stagnation. Any actions on Cerb's part that might be interpreted by others as petty vindictiveness towards banned members is really a no-win situation. Running into trouble of one sort or another here on Cerb does not mean that a lady is not a good provider. I've known a couple of great ladies in particular who carried a bit of a chip on their shoulders about anyone trying to tell them what they could do or say (on Cerb or elsewhere). This led to some ultimately unhappy results on Cerb -- but they are great ladies nonetheless. On the other hand: I also know that being an active Cerb member of good standing, with a squeaky-clean record in board participation and a string of good recos, provides no guarantee of being either a good provider or an upstanding citizen in this business. (All of the above is a general statement. None of it is meant to be in direct reference to any particular case.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phil605 100 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 Being new to all of this I'm still learning so please bear with me. As I understand it, if someone is banned for whatever reason, they cannot post. Is this correct? If it is, any post therefore must, or at least should be from someone else. So how can a recco posted by a member in good standing be a violation of the rules by the individual banned? Other than the service provided they had nothing to do with the post. In my opinion there is way to much negative in the world, I like saying something positive and rewarding a good deed instead of belittling people. After my first encounter, I posted my thoughts, which were all very positive about the SP (who, in the interest of full disclosure, happened to be Rebecca Love) She did not ask me to come here, but her web site had a link to this site and I followed it to learn more and understand the choices I was thinking about making. If anything that fact alone was advertising for, let's face it, the competition. In the process of exploring I ended up PMing an SP from Ottawa who answered my first post. Grass Hopper was willing to guide me, tell me what I needed to know. She was gratious, patient and willing to take some of her time to help... Thank you again Grass Hopper, again if I'm in Ottawa, I owe you dinner, on the clock without a tickle, what you gave me in advice means the world. When I did post my recco, I was promptly jumped on for being a probable Shill.... WTFO? I had no idea what that was, thank you Urban Dictionary... When Grass Hopper stepped in to vouch for me, well she got beat up on... How unfair is that? Then the topic degraded to the point where the moderator had to close it down... In closing, I have learned that the Ladies here are for the most part Ladies, and deserve to be treated as such, however I also realize that there are some who are a little petty and competitive, and that's just not a good place to be.... I'm sure tha the loss of access to CERB has hurt Miss Love's calendar, but if I as a hobbist have a good experience, I should be able to pass that on to others, if I had a bad experience, I cannot, nor personally would I comment here, so why keep beating this dead horse of a banned member, for something having nothing to do with service provided... it only makes you look bad. Sorry for being so long, thanks for listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenacres99 663 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 Wow, that is a lot of drama considering no one was actually hurt, ripped-off, or (at least for a while) disparaged. I feel bad for the original poster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135640 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 If someone is banned for breaking the rules here we still allow them to be discusses (and recommended). They just can no longer advertise here themselves or use the site. If they are banned because of bait and switch, ripping someone off, etc.. any misleading, underage or dangerous situation.... that is a different story. The SP ONLY members and the ELITE members along with the MODS and the COUNCIL see a section that explains why people are banned. If someone is BANNED you should NOT question it unless you can see that section. If you have become a ELITE member here or have SP ONLY access you can comment on bans. Without this you DO NOT know the whole story (Probably only one side and your probably assuming things you should not) so please DO NOT comment in public here about topics like this.

Barney 2550 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 I need to add just one thing to this if someone is banned for safety reasons, we should all be made aware of it, elite member or not, what is an elite member anyone, I always thought Cerb was suppose to be a friendly information board regarding the SP'S Industry in Halifax which sucks compared to Toronto, where its a lot safer, half the price, and beautiful ladies to select from. It seems like everyone is always trying to outdo one another here, take some lessons from the biiger centres in Canada, and some people need to grow up here in the East. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted June 2, 2011 I need to add just one thing to this if someone is banned for safety reasons, we should all be made aware of it, elite member or not, what is an elite member anyone .... If there's a situation where a safety risk has been demonstrated, rest assured that it is not Cerb policy to keep it hidden from anyone. You will notice that there is a "Warnings" forum for each city. This is specifically for the reporting of scams and dangerous situations. From a technical standpoint, "elite" members of Cerb are those who have made 500 or more posts, or who have accumulated 1000 or more reputation-points from other members. The "elite" members area does not hold some sort of motherload of valuable and esoteric industry secrets. Instead, it's full of relatively boring administrative stuff related to the running of the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redmachine 1916 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 the SP'S Industry in Halifax sucks compared to Toronto, where its a lot safer, half the price, and beautiful ladies to select from. It seems like everyone is always trying to outdo one another here, take some lessons from the biiger centres in Canada, and some people need to grow up here in the East. Almost half of your post since you have joined have had a negative slant to them towards the ladies in Halifax and the east coast in general including this quote from another thread "no agencies, very limited, also be very careful there are a lot of scam s here and druggies" Again............While Halifax may not have the numbers that larger cities may have there are still many excellent and honest ladies here not to mention some of the most highly recommended and respected ladies in Canada regularly tour here. Please continue to post about your positive experiences but your negative cometary about the east cost ladies is not appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barney 2550 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 I have nothing against the ladies of Halifax, it was a general statement, I usually see Miss Voyeur or Lexy, both who are very nice and i would recomend, to anyone here, but yes there does seem to be a lot of irregularies here, and I am aware the population is smaller here, but there seems to be alot of problems here also, just my take, I am sure there are other nice ladies here but you have to be more careful here also, I think everyone knows what I mean.

Emma Alexandra 123368 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) I need to add just one thing to this if someone is banned for safety reasons, we should all be made aware of it, elite member or not, what is an elite member anyone, I always thought Cerb was suppose to be a friendly information board regarding the SP'S Industry in Halifax which sucks compared to Toronto, where its a lot safer, half the price, and beautiful ladies to select from. It seems like everyone is always trying to outdo one another here, take some lessons from the biiger centres in Canada, and some people need to grow up here in the East. Tis true that some people need to grow up there in the East..a few of the ladies, and i think as well a few of the men.I lived in Halifax for 7 years and had and still have some of the best clients in Canada. Prices are what they are in every city so no need to compare Hali with Toronto. I don't see why there should be any lady competeing ..in fact one can't. Everyone is different.Every lady is different,every man is different. As an experience provider I know and understand all this, not all ladies do and try to put down the others. Thus creating conflict not realizing that they are only harming themselves. just my 2 cents. Emma a ps- I love Halifax and it's many great men.

mod 135640 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 Any Dangerous encounters (Posted by higher level members) and any confirmed Bait and Switch or Underage ladies are posted for the general public to see. If someone is new to the site and posts a warning I do not allow the post to go online unless someone else with higher post counts and reputation can back it up. This prevents slander and sabotage. The east coast is still fairly new to the online world. It's taken MANY years but we now see ads and posts from the East. Ottawa (Back in 1996) had Lyla.com and it was exactly the same stuff you see now going on in Halifax and other smaller towns across the country that are just getting into online advertising. Ottawa online escort culture has grown and matured over the years (Very well) with online etiquette and more ethical advertisers (and an amazing group of members too who help steer it in the right direction). It will come in time for other cities as well (will have some rough spots as it matures but nothing is perfect when it's new). We will see a lot of people come and go... and a lot who think they know all the answers. Fortunately we have a tried and tested site here that will help Halifax (and other cities) along the way.

wellie 652 Report post Posted June 6, 2011 I don't quite understand why this thread has caused so much emotion. The OP (Cathy) posed a reasonable question. WrinkledInTime, the mod, and others provided very good answered that settled the issue for me. I think Halifax and the ladies there are great, as are Ottawa and T.O. (and their ladies).
