So as you all know, the change is complete.

As a result of this action, the directory has drastically improved the quality of the listings.

For those who were concerned, the CL Escort Scraper (see sig), has been updated with the latest change in CL, and is successfully able to extract data.

As for all future changes in CL, those will be updated accordingly to the code, and full support will be provided for the year.

The old /ers/, escort listing directory will be removed in 7 days according to CL blog. You can optionally choose to extract data from this category while it lasts, as well as from the new Adult Services directory.

Please refer to below thread in my signature for further questions and concerns.

Thank you.

Taken from craigslist blog (blog.craigslist.org):

May 13th, 2009 by jim

As of today for all US craigslist sites, postings to the ?erotic services? category will no longer be accepted, and in 7 days the category will be removed.

Also effective today for all US sites, a new category entitled ?adult services? will be opened for postings by legal adult service providers. Each posting to this new category will be manually reviewed before appearing on the site, to ensure compliance with craigslist posting guidelines and terms of use. New postings will cost $10, but once approved, will be eligible for reposting at $5.

I think its pretty much self explanatory.

Also like to point out its only for American cities. That still leaves out myriad of listings in other international cities.

I hope this resolves any confusion.

How?
They did this themselves. They still will allow the hookers to keep posting. They just will block any obvious spam, get verifications on the people posting, block certain photo types, and of course collect $10/$5 per post.

If he means a GFY mod - because the OP is a banned user.
If he means a CL mod - because the OP scrapes/steals their content and sells it or ability to get it for profit.

CL pwns Attorney General

Heres an excerpt of response to the accuasations that CL is a criminal.

Source: blog.criagslist.org

If you are threatening our founder Craig Newmark, a board member with no operational role at craigslist other than as a customer service representative, then you are expanding your list of ?criminal suspects? to include thousands of employees at the above-named companies, or the companies? boards of directors, or both.

Mr McMaster, I strongly recommend you reconsider and retract your remarks, and positively affirm that you have no intention of launching criminal investigations aimed at any of these upstanding companies, because in truth none of them are deserving of such treatment. Certainly when it comes to craiglist, by any objective standard your threats and accusations are unreasonable and unfair:

* threats of criminal prosecution are utterly unwarranted by the facts
* the charges threatened are unconstitutional and barred by federal law
* our adult ad screening regimen is stricter than the one you endorsed
* our adult services ads are fewer and tamer than other SC venues

We?re willing to accept our share of criticism, but wrongfully accusing craigslist of criminal misconduct is simply beyond the pale. We would very much appreciate an apology at your very earliest convenience. As I?m sure would all of the other fine companies whose executives you?ve called out as criminals.

Sincerely Yours,

Jim Buckmaster
CEO, craigslist

way to go!
