Why all these thingys?

:t hrob::cupidarrow :

Why do providers use all this stuff in their ads???

BP stuff... there's a lot of them showing up on Eccie, have been for a while...

the don't like as crude ?

The typical BP ad title now has so many symbols that it looks more like hieroglyphics than English. I think we're getting an influx of time traveler providers from ancient Egypt.

Girls like to use emoticons, because they're cute.

You can use emoticons, too, if you want to catch someone's attention.

For a while you had to make your BP ad title "unique" or else it wouldn't allow you to post it, thinking it was spam, so they use the emoticons to make sure the title hasn't been used before.

Thank you, Luxie, for that very simple but non-obvious answer.

Finally an answer I can believe.

I always overlook the ads with these thingys.
It's aggravating, and tough trying to figure out what they are saying.

i've heard from vets that is a tell tale sign they are having a pimp or 'manager' posting up for them.
