Craigslist to crack down on prostitution ads

**mynameisjim** · 11-06-2008, 10:50 AM

Seems like a huge opportunity for someone living overseas.

Open up an erotic craigslist and plaster ads all over the damn thing.

Where will I slang my large black* love weapon now?

**seeandsee** · 11-06-2008, 10:53 AM

lol time for hookers

**tony286** · 11-06-2008, 10:54 AM

there goes a big chunk of their traffic. lol

"Jim Buckmaster, Craigslist's CEO, said the deal will allow legitimate escort services to continue advertising"

**WiredGuy** · 11-06-2008, 11:04 AM

The article says though that they have no problem with the escort listings.

What exactly is the difference in an advertisement between an escort listing and prostitution? Can't hookers just relabel their ads to be in line with escort listings?

No more 50 roses for a blowjob?

**aniloscash** · 11-06-2008, 11:18 AM

adultfriendfinder?

**AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE** · 11-06-2008, 11:33 AM

Guess Craigs List is gonna be a relic of the internet soon then...

Picking up two hookers, a Lawn Chair and Candy Dish will never be the same.

**d-null** · 11-06-2008, 11:38 AM

this must be all for show

if they allow escort ads, how can they say anything about what happens behind closed doors between consenting adults after they meet and pay for the meeting only?

Now thats a paradox.

**mmcfadden** · 11-06-2008, 11:40 AM

now why do they have to take a perfectly good thing and try and break it?

**robfantasy** · 11-06-2008, 12:18 PM

doesnt that make it easier?

wouldnt ppl feel safer knowing that they arent being set up by cops soliciting.

**GT-Omar** · 11-06-2008, 12:22 PM

Fuck!!!!!

There goes my pastime. Now what the hell am I going to do with all these whips, and chains and shit ! pffffffffft

**Ron Bennett** · 11-06-2008, 12:33 PM

As part of Craigslist's agreement with attorneys general around the country, anyone who posts an "erotic services" ad will be required to provide a working phone number and pay a fee with a valid credit card. The Web site will provide that information to law enforcement if subpoenaed.

Sounds like a way to monetize that section better. ;)

could they use a 'pay as you go' 7-11 phone and a disposable mastercard?

**g$$$** · 11-06-2008, 01:21 PM

Hmm...maybe...never thought about that. Most of them have 7-11 phones from what I've been told.

No, but you can email me.

If you're seeking prices for the other domains I mentioned - for limited time, they're $500 each, which is rockbottom pricing, but willing to sacrifice for fast cash.

All domains are at eNom for fast, easy push.

Thank you for your interest, and look forward to hearing from you and/or others seeking quality domains at wholesale prices; I also have numerous quality generics for sale - amazing bargains!

**mmcfadden** · 11-06-2008, 03:42 PM

is this a "sell your domain thread" or a WTF happened to that more then wonderful service called... CL Hookers

**ultimatebbwdotcom** · 11-06-2008, 03:52 PM

Didnt people used to circumvent this back in the day of local newspaper ads by advertising "french polishing" services, which was code for BJ. etc etc

All they have to do is invent a little "known in the right circles" slang.

I know most men wont think this is real but there is a HUGE market of men and women who simply need escorts, maybe the guys need it to show off, or for party company or to get his mom to stop bugging him about how he needs to find someone, women hire male escorts to show off or to get a ex jealous etc this is real they spend real money they dont want sex need sex etc.

**RedShoe** · 11-06-2008, 10:21 PM

some dude here posted his new program the other day called craigspimp or some shit where he pays you UP TO 10 cents per REPLY from spamming craigslist. I wonder how this news affects his business.

Well that sucks.

**okfling** · 11-07-2008, 10:33 AM

someone with more time needs to find the article outlining the massive amount of traffic craigslist gets to these categories. They would loose a lot of traffic if they shut down the category all together

**Hostirian** · 11-07-2008, 10:43 AM

Back to the Streets they go!
