It seems so.

Adultwork is one of the leaders in escort directories
Many people will be frustrated, even more, because recently Adultwork started to close and suspend a lot of accounts without clear reason.

I wonder how legal is that adult work verification, where you must supply your ID, and to confirm your ID number, names... Anyone to give some light about this issue ?
Isn't it against the law to collect personal info, especially copies of the passports and all other sort of personal info by company based in Malta ?

Not only that, but the profile ratings system leaves a lot to be desired.

It is set up to make some users look extremely popular in a very unfair way.

One t-girl in particular on there, who boasts to have the "highest ranking figure" of anyone on Adultwork does this a lot.

The days that her ratings are visible shows multiple feebacks left by the same users over an over again, all within seconds of each other.

On other days when you can check her stats, you get a "pop up" that says: "This user has chosen to hide their ratings, so do not trust this user as being genuine"

What kind of system would have that?

Crazy if you ask me.

There is a major cyberwar going on between Spamhaus and Cyberbunker.
