For anyone who just joined or did not receive this email here is a copy...
Dear Cerb Member,
This email is to update everyone on the posting rules on CERB.CA
1) No slander - This is a SP friendly site so negative comments that are not appropriate, slanderous or hurtful will be removed and the member may be removed as well.
2) No Flame Wars (Includes posts that may provoke a public fight on the
board)
3) Don't post private messages from someone else publicly - if you have a problem with a PM you got, send it to me
4) Please post in the proper section, the ladies are allowed to post updates, availability, schedules and announcements in the "Schedules and announcements" areas (In the proper time zones). Spam or advertisement type posts in the recommendations area will be deleted as well.
5) If you want to questions something I did or said, do it using a PM and not in a public thread. I will remove the thread and most likely remove you.
6) Negative comments and bad reviews will most likely be removed so I encourage you to post positive information and not negative comments.
Sometimes it's better to say nothing at all.
Bottom line... We want this site to be 100% SP friendly and the ladies will not want to participate on this site if you publicly bash them, slander them, make hurtful comments and all the other crap that goes on. Other review sites exist that all this nonsense so if you feel you need to be an ass please visit on of these other sites and cancel your membership on cerb.
If you do not agree with these rules just let me know and I will remove you from the members list.
Thank you

We have received many positive comments about this email (any many negative comments as well). Here are some of the positive comments...
...--
I have no problems with these rules. I just wish all boards were so proactive.
Keep up the good work!
...--
Good rules....I totally agree.
...--
I concur
...--
Sound like good rules to me!
...--
Thanks and no problem - sensible rules.
...--
I agree and thats great thanks :)
...--
I never post anywhere on any board because they seem to be so bad of fighting with everyone. If you keep this board safe I will post here then.
...--
You rules are very fair
.... and we have had about 30 members ask to be deleted as they do not feel our rules are fair. Most of the members who do not like the rules say that we should just be a advertising site if we do not allow negative posts.
Here is my comment to them.
Many boards exist for that type of post. We want our discussion board to welcome the ladies into the discussions and let them contribute to the board without worrying about some ass flaming them or jumping all over the thread to make them not want to participate. We encourage you to share your positive experiences and see our site as a community SP friendly website where eventually all the ladies will enjoy using with the guys. We do NOT want to be like the other sites... anonymous posts that can damage someone's reputation is unfair and slanderous without consequence.
This choice to ban all negative posts may greatly damage the traffic and membership to the site (We are fully aware of this) but we feel this type of board that is 100% SP FRIENDLY could benefit everyone (Ladies and Gents).
We do not wish to have a "Copy Cat" board, many review boards (that encourage negative posts) exist already so why would we need another one?
I would not appreciate someone posting anonymous threads about me somewhere that could damage my business that I have invested into and worked hard at so why is it fair to do that to the ladies? In fact if someone did do that I would probably take the site to court for allowing it.
For every bad apple who gets slandered on a review board 9 other good sp's (who maybe had a bad day, or the guy was not hygienic or drunk, or and asshole, etc...) well these ladies are also getting slandered (and often we find out the person slandering them is another SP or a boyfriend of another SP) ....
God forbid if the ladies try to post to defend themselves.. We all know that if this happens 10 other trolls (or more) jump on in and make sure she is beaten down because she is trying to salvage her reputation! It's not fair and unjustified in most cases.
If you wish to participate in a site like that please don't participate here. For all those who agree with me please enjoy the site. We will continue to enforce this new rule, previous threads that are negative will remain unless someone has a valid reason why they thing the thread should be removed.
If someone posts something negative but it is not slanderous we may allow it but it will be at our discretion. If you feel a thread is inappropriate please let us know and we will review it.
