EmilyRushton 253372 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 I agree with F2F, it is likely a language issue when this happens. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery! In the last 4 months 6 separate Canadian born ladies have stolen my text (had they asked i probably would have said I will write you an ad) the fact that these ladies can speak english, log onto a computer and place an ad says enough that they should get there own ads. if I want an ad in french I will ask another lady who is fluent in french to translate it for me as I have done putting things into proper english for others...there is no excuse for this behaviour 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katherine of Halifax 113932 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 I've noticed girls stealing other girls moves too! On numerous occasions I've had a girl put a condom on me with her mouth in this weird stripper/magician kinda way.....and then BOOM! another girl does it exactly the same! WTF? Maybe that same girl can teach me to put one on with my hands, its the hardest part of my date. Ugg, I have such a hard time and waste so many. Off topic, sorry.

That is where i disagree with the cerb rule. A stolen photo is a stolen photo regardless of where it is stolen from why is a stolen text only a stolen text if it is stolen from a cerb ad? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point. It is quite easy sometimes to prove text is stolen. I can copy a sentence from a known sp's ad, google it and many hits come back for ads from a variety of sites and all refer to that one particular sp. If I take a sentence from someone who does not seem to match up with the way the ad is written, I can easily get a match to the reputable one showing numerous matches, and only one match to the thief. I managed to get myself banned from a review forum for pointing out all the stolen website and ad copy that was being used by a small group of supposed independent advertisers. The advertisers were then shilled with reviews by several fake handles, all of which connected to one guy, as did all the handles for these independent sps. Once you knew they were going to be doing it, I found several matches. The sps advertised were supposedly new, just that week or month. So it is easy to show they stole the text when it matches to an escort in the US or the UK who has been working for several years. In most cases, all it takes is the hint of wrong doing, and the site admin removes the ad. You don't just "flag" an ad, you report directly to the admin, with proof of what you are reporting. Proof includes link to established website, ad history, profiles on sites, who knows what else. There is always something that can be done, and if the admin of an advertising site doesn't respond, then you simply announce it somewhere (even the suggestion above by adding a comment direct to the thief in the ad itself lol).
