yeah saw this earlier

all it means is you gotta do the same thing you would do to be on eros

youll see increased rates and different wording in ads

big deal

this changes nothing but the rates

not even... they wont even let the ad go up with certain keywords. Cl has been tripping out since they removed the 4 pic option. Then u had to have an account, then the girls started using imagedeposit and they put a block on that... then you had to verify a phone number and were only allowed 3 ads a day which all the envious providers were flagging down. Then CL just started pulling them down themselves! My ads were well worded and they STILL were coming down 5 minutes after they were posted. I finally got over it and just went with eros only. Even my Casual ads for fun were pulled down almost immediately. I noticed calls from eros picked up a lot. Most guys won't even use craigslist anymore becaue of so many bad experiences with fake pics, robbery scenarios n so forth, not to mention the Police! Im pretty sure people are just gonna go with eros, the papers and backpage until another site comes up. CL is played out already

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

we shall see, Casual Encounters has always been the wild card of CL

[BrendaQG]

Word. CL is played. Backpage is the the new place for low cost advertising.

What about flagging? Things could get expensive if your getting flagged and charged 5.00 everytime you repost

[Looking 4 Now]

there are very few ads on cl this morning
the girls who do have an ad there can name there own price

Any update on this? it's been a few months now.

Simply "Google" Craigslist in the "news" section should get you where you need to be for information.

Yes, CL and LE are still working hard to "rid" CL of prossing, and CL even turned over the first payment of money to a fund created by contract with state DA's.

Hoes still advertise on CL, some really forward, others very coy, but from what one is hearing ads still get flagged.

Long as CL is cheaper than Eros.com, prossies are going to continue to take their chances, especially in these hard economic times.

Have seen a few "high profile" girls advertise on CL recently (can tell by photographs), but their ads are usually worded to seem like they are just looking for NSA encounter, or some such.

Have said it before, and will keep on repeating, it is not LE cares anymore about CL and does not know about Eros.com and the rest, it is simply a matter of catching the hoe. CL tends to attract lots of new and others who do not know what they are doing. For LE that is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Doesn't matter if the hoe is a guy, girl, trannie or whatever, if they are experienced and know how to avoid being arrested, it makes the PoPo have to work harder.

There has always been indoor prossing, as opposed to street hoes. However since the later normally are more conspicuous, they are easier prey for LE. It has only been recently, and mainly because of the Internet that indoor prossing has zoomed to new levels. Well the Internet and constant crackdowns on strolls.

If CL disappeared tomorrow, there would be something else soon to take it's place, especially for prostitution adverts. It is like illegal drugs. Fortunes are spent on LE to stop the practice, and while many are arrested and even incarcerated, the flow and demand keeps on growing.

So much for freedom of speech or the press.
