other board

[mm_ll]

anyone else notice the other board becoming increasingly more restrictive in what you can post?? i've had a couple of reviews rejected now from there by Mods. i have to stress that both reviews were OVERWHELMINGLY positive with only a statement or two (max) regarding what I didn't enjoy as much.

i'd be interested to hear other peoples' thoughts on this. i don't know if i can support a board with such high levels of censorship.

Well it depends on what you said. I get the positive recs only slant and how it brings the girls on board (which works very well), but yeah, it lends a slight bias in some reviews.

Doesn't bother me though, after awhile it gets to be easy to read between the lines and you can pick up on how cool a girl will be from her participation there.

I have noticed that overall participation has gone down a lot in recent months. Seems like there's more going on under the surface than there is in the actual forums now. Maybe it's the censorship, maybe it's other paranoia...who knows?

Both boards, this and cerb serve their purpose. What I don't get is why folks like to dis Cerb so much. Their agenda and purpose is clearly laid out when you join, so if you are aware of that going in it should be no surprise when warnings or infractions are given out. It's like being disappointed that when you go to a vegan restaurant that there is no hip of beef being served at the buffet, but otherwise it's a great restaurant and you know you'll get some great vegan dishes.

CERB is very easy to navigate and if you are aware and informed very easy to read between the lines. It is also possible to be critical without being hurtful in writing comments or reviews about providers.

Both boards have a collection of interesting characters, commentators and participants. Visiting both forums gives one a full picture of the hobby scene and both provide important and usefull information in their own respect.

How do you know when someone is telling the truth again? On either board? If someone is smitten with a lady (and lets face it after the first few hours with any lady we are going to feel like they were the best ever) or if a lady pissed someone off because they would not do something maybe kissing maybe BBFS there is nothing stopping them from coming on here and flaming them??

I have said it a million times, I get my best feeling about a lady by talking to her either via PM or email or a call. I do have a rather sharply honed BS meter and very savvy initial contact attraction meter. They have served me well and I would rather trust those instincts than any recommendation or review on any board.

Plus I wonder why this board has such a fascination with the "other board" this is a weekly theme over here. However this discussion rarely comes up on the "other board".

Anyone need any alternate phrasing or wording tips to drop some hints on the other board just send me a pm. So far I have been able to walk the line without crossing it. Or simply speak your mind here and stop worrying about the other board.

One thing about writing a review that makes me read it instead of skip it is to give it some background. ie called this lady from CL and "-------" made me want to see her. Then simply it was a bad mistake stop end. Or a few things that were good before the negative comment. When the review is a string of negatives I give it a less than a grain of salt in credibility and don't bother reading past the first few slams. Unless it is a lady that I have seen and the recommendation is obvious BS, and then I will probably defend the lady.

If someone were to bring it up on the ''other'' board, the mod would more than likely make the thread disapear... Like Magic tricks.... or maybe fear of a better board taking over
Perhaps power trip issues..

I'm game with using both boards, it's been said, they both have their benefits, but when it all comes down to it, we all know that Terb has a much higher level of ''The real deal''.

 

[Kubrickfan]

I have been successful in posting facts on the other board concerning an SP that weren't laid out clearly that would probably have a negative effect, such as a SP who was listed as GFE, but had a "no kissing" rule, or a "mostly no kissing rule" or something like that (S.A. probably remembers that one ... smile). I agree that both boards have their purpose. I will always try to cross reference reviews here and I will always try to treat both boards equally for reviews. Frankly, it seems that a lot more SPs participate on the other board, but I trust the reviews here a bit more.

 

[OnTheWayOut]

To an extent I agree with Dummpy, I trust my own judgment the most when deciding who to see.

I also agree with 600rr that you won't see people on Cerb discussing Terb because the Cerb mod won't allow mention of Terb. You also aren't allowed to post links to CL there, I assume because it's competition for E-C who runs Cerb. They say for other reasons but it's fairly obvious. Cerb is highly censored whereas here it is a much more liberal atmosphere, even though I once found a way to get a PM from the mod here LOL

As a longtime user here it was a shock to go to Cerb and it takes a lot of getting used to. It's not natural to be able to only tell 1/2 the story and as mentioned before one of the best ways to use Cerb is to see who is NOT reviewed there, or not by many.

I do like the fact many SP post their schedules there and the fact a lot of them post there because it was designed to attract them. I could live without the hokey stuff like nominated posts and what not but if it makes someone feel good then let them have at it.

I don't see a real need to bash Cerb as there is some useful stuff there, as there is here. To get a true picture you can learn what both have to offer and sort out the real picture from them. They both have a purpose so use them for what they are. No need to pit one against the other.

 

[OnTheWayOut]

And people complain that TERB is too restrictive..... Sheesh.

It's just that Sheik fella .....

[Kyra.Graves]

Well come and adjust it for me at the christmas party eh?

I'm too shy for that, I will be sure that my partner in crime gives it a good snap though!

 

[Kyra.Graves]

Thats ok, I dont bite



unless you want me to

Haha! Good to know, what are your rates? links?
I've only heard reviews of your moobs and that they are real and spectacular!

 

[SecretRendezvous]

We have gotten infractions as well for posting GFE in our title, because it was in CAPS.

Since it is an acronym, I figured it was suppose to be in CAPS. It is not the first time either. We post *New* and it gets deleted, we post other things and it gets deleted.

I haven't even had that much trouble on CL. Plus we only get maybe 10 hits week from that site. So it is not just you guys.

 

[insidevoice]

Cerb is pretty much Ottawa-centric so that's probably why it has such little influence on your bottom line, Cydney.

When writing an acceptable review takes too much energy and you're criticised for the smallest percieved infractions, people will stop making the effort. I can see that happening now.
One lady on the other board is well recommended, but no one ever mentioned anything about the dental work she needs.
Another lady, well recommended, just flaked. Early in the day I set an appointment for a rendezvous that evening. I called 45 minutes before the rendezvous, told her I was hoping in the shower and I'd be there on time. All was good, but to call when I got to Orleans. I called when I got to the neighborhood, 5 minutes before the rendezvous and was asked to call back in 10 minutes. At that point I just turned around and didn't bother further. And now I'm likely on the "Blacklist" for a no show.
I look at all the ads and think there are only a couple of providers where I would invest my time and energy anymore. And usually the providers are experienced, mature and business minded. And the other board carries very little wieght in my descion making, TERB reviews are more forthright and now I need to correspond with the lady before I commit to a rendezvous.
I've quit my 'impulse buying' habits, so to speak.

It's a great song. I change my sig song fairly regularly though depending on my mood and what I'm listening to that day.

I like your 2 cents but can't agree with you bailing on a lady when she asked for another 10 minutes. From what I've experienced, that's part of the deal with SPs.

It took me one very underwhelming experience to realize that some (if not all) of the cerb-ladies are overhyped. I think this is a disservice to the client and to the ladies. But after this experience I learned to "read between the lines" as others have implied. And also not to have such high expectations. So the other board can be fun but I still shake my head from time to time at the whitewashing that goes on there.

 

[o-dog]

Every review is incredibly subjective no matter what the source. You could have a great time with a SP because of some instant chemistry on a very personal level. I've had a few experiences where I did have an awesome experience but said nothing at all about the girl, because we clicked in a way where I felt it would be hard to recreate with other personalities. You know when the first few minutes is like pulling teeth, but all of a sudden you find some obscure common ground that breaks the ice and then it takes a 180?

There's also going to be people new to the hobby that haven't got the experience to know the difference between good and goooood. I was no different when I started...if a girl was pretty and I could fuck her, that was amazing! But there's more to it than that. There's one very well reviewed girl over there that I found extremely pleasant to be with and is a total knockout...but the naked part I found dull. Of course there's raves about her skills, but I didn't find that at all, just average. Not going through the motions, but not passionate either. I wouldn't say anything bad about her, but there was nothing to write home about. Some guys just see her body and lose their shit because to them it's like fucking a porn star and that's what they want.

I like dummpy's take....you start communicating with them and you get a feel for what they're like. Every time I have a good feeling about a girl before I meet her I'm never disappointed, and I've never had a good time with someone that I had reservations about when dealing with them beforehand. Intuition is a good thing. There was a recent addition there that looked promising so I contacted her and she seemed completely retarded. Fuck that, lots of other girls out there that own a brain. Maybe she's fucks like nobody's business, but I'll take my chances...

But the other board is good and has far more info and opportunity to get to know the girls than here. Without the censorship, the ladies wouldn't play. This board is moderated too, don't forget that...just not to the same degree.

insidevoice,
Thank you for your respectful response. Perhaps I did bail too quickly, I like to think I was thinking with the big head ! And I think work has me a little stressed and I was in no mood for games.
And I agree that your choice of words, 'overhyped' is very appropriate and a disservice is happening. Again, CK's efforts are a valuable resource, I've checked for references and to date have failed to thank him for his efforts. I appreciate what CK brings to the community, a third reference.
My intuition tells me to forget finding gold with a gem on CL or the other board. It does happen, but me, I won't be chasing that rainbow.
