    Angry Craigslist censored itself

    I just saw on CNN that craigslist has censored it's erotic/adult services section. I'm an escort, (and wanna be camgirl, lol) and as I do not use craigslist myself, this still makes me nervous. I feel as if all the girls who DO use craigslist, along with LE, will now move over to the other "classified" type website that most of us here are familiar with.

    No offense to the girls who do use craigslist, different areas of the country surely have different types of ads AND people advertising their services...not to mention quantity. Where I live, the girls that do post on craigslist seem to be the trashy, druggie types...who will do anything to make a quick buck to get their next fix. I resent the fact that *those* types will now be lumped in with the few girls who advertise where I now do. Which is not many, probably 20 ads or fewer per day. LE will surely follow.

    ***I am not here to offend anybody, so please don't take my stereo-typing personally**** This may only apply to my small corner of the world

    Please be careful girls

    Ditto.

    Honestly I wouldn't care if they moved to the OTHER classified site because I don't advertise there much at all.. (though it does bring good business I don't like being associated with those type of chicks.. no offense to anyone)

    My rates are a little higher than most so I stick to forums/eros and directory listings...they've never failed me. I also get alot of traffic from google.

    Now I will have remember not to do a nationwide ad campaign on that other site because I'm sure it will be LE's new target.

    I think part of it is because there have been a lot of troubles from the adult section. For the most part it seems like it's mostly low class hookers and perverts on the site. The perverts scare me because many were using it to take advantage. I once posted an ad looking for modeling jobs and got so many of the perverts wanting me to send them photos. Nope, I won't do that unless I know you are legit. So in this respect I understand why they did this.

    However, I do feel for those who were using it to find legitimate adult jobs and those companies looking for real people.

    Some of the sex work on craigslist was legit. I've gotten a shitload of good gigs off the "adult gigs" section, and I'm not an escort. Found my topless maid agency there, my bachelor party agency there, an awesome foot fetishist client, bondage modeling gigs-- the list goes on and on. It used to supplement my stripping income quite nicely. It's a shame the legal sex work can no longer be represented there--it is bread and butter for a lot of girls.

    The site was wayy too trashy for me to even post ONE ad there. I could't EVER post on CL.. Alot of escorts have ruined their reputation just by posting on CL. I feel sorry for those that relied on it for $$$.

    It's been many years since I found an escort worth seeing on Craig's List. It has become, for escorting at least, the cyber equivilant of the track...

    Still, if LE can strong-arm them into dropping the ads it doesn't bode well for other on-line advertising services.

    I used cl as a means of work, and i am not trashy nor am i a junky. those girls were the ones screwing up everyone else's hustle by charging track prices. i'd actually have guys calling me to see me for 100 for the hour. saying "the other girls charge that"

    i would just end up hanging up. I'm kinda stressing about it though. I have a redbook account, but because ive no reviews no one calls me. and the ones who do call through that try to get a free session in exchange for a review.

    Haha "The cyber equivalent of the track" LOVE IT but true SO true!

    I utilize Eros guide depending on where I'm working (It sucks for the Carolinas) Eros is pretty strict on what you put on your ad.. the sexual inuendos would not FLY and the prices are $95 an up. i usually buy VIP ads ($350 a month) I'm pretty sure a lot of Craigslist girls will NOT be advertising there for those two reasons (at least I'm hoping they stick with backpage)

    Sure, there was a time when many legit ladies advertised on CL. I have an ATF that I still see who I met from CL in Philly six years ago. The difference is that the bait and switch scams, rip-offs and pimped junkies are now in the majority on the site. Some legit girls still try to use CL or BP to promote immediate availability but, from the customers side, it has become much more of a crap-shoot trying to find quality ladies on thoise sites. To use my "track" analogy again as it relates to the guys calling looking for deals. It's really no different than when I used to cruise the track 20 years ago. The first question was always "how much?"

    When I originally posted this, I wasn't aware that they removed the "adult gigs" section as well. That really sucks, as I know that there was alot of legit work offered there. I have only been back in the "adult" business for less than 6 weeks, and I was going to try to tap into some other work offered from there.

    I'm sorry for all of the girls who are losing money now because of this. I am too, but at least for me it was just potential money...you can't really miss something you never had.

    I'm sure everything will be pushed over to backpage now, as far as work offered, but I wouldn't recommend advertising there now as an escort. That is all I know as well hustler.hOney, so I'm at a loss too. I'm not on any other website, no reviews yet...etc

    I guess we have to get busy, get out there, open accounts on some of thoe sites and post away to get ourselves known. This is all new to me as well...I'm pissed that as soon as I'm making some money, this happens.

    Guess I have to push myself to try to cam again, in the meantime. It's the craziest thing, I have no problem being an escort...but when it comes to camming, I just can't do it, lol. I need to swallow my pride and just do it tho, I need the money bad! I just hate people barking orders at me. I'd much rather be the one calling the shots.

    I just noticed some of them taking it back to the street. I was passing through an area of town near this skanky motel. This girl was strolling back and forth on the median in the road, looked about 4-5 months pregnant, wearing a satin shirt and sucking on a lollipop. On the side of the road, was this skinny little dude just glaring at her. He was little straggly dude, but I could see it in his eyes that he had a bad temper. I haven't seen that in a while.

    I had lunch w/ a friend of mine today who is an escort. First thing she showed me was that the CL ads had all been removed. We checked for "adult gigs" & they were all gone too.

    However, a new classified search engine has popped up... & we aren't sure if it's being run by CL or not. Its a different domain. She was notified about it via her e-mail. Personally it looks like the same junk to me... so I won't be advertising there. She's going to try tomorrow & let me know how it goes.

    I did try advertising with Eros at one point. At first Eros pulled all the ads of escorts who were advertising in the Dancers section... so I was the only one there. I really didn't get that many legitimate calls from it though so I stopped using it. Now 3 or 4 more escorts are listed in the dancer section again... go figure. If Eros was willing to pull the ads of girls who aren't really dancers then I'd be willing to advertise there again, but I really don't want to pay to be competing with girls who aren't offering the same services I am.

    Hehe, this is lulz. When has the adult industry ever been legit, or UN-SHADY? That's why it is what it is and we can make the money we make in it.

    This is just inevitable. But sex fiends and perverts and sex workers always find a new way.
