I didn't even know there was a short notice thread. And I hardly ever get on the boards, or even comment on anything. But, my opinion is why does it matter if a provider posts an ad everyday? I see no harm in it. And I cannot understand for the life of me how posting 2 ads per week "LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD". Now, posting one every 2 minutes is just ridiculous. But, why would 1 a day hurt? Maybe someone could explain to me exactly HOW this rule "levels the playing field".
Also, rules CAN BE changed. We change laws in the real world by going to our state representative and presenting your opinions and getting enough people to agree with changing this said law. I do understand enforcing rules because they are there for a reason. But THIS rule is just DUMB. And I personally think it should be changed. As I said, 1 ad a day shouldn't hurt. Hell, P411 allows you to post ads once a day. EVEN PAY to put your ad at the top EVERYDAY. And it works for them. And the "playing field" there is not "UNLEVEL". Girls post threADS in coed all the time anyway. So, what's the difference? Really, there are some guys that get on here and need something quick and they have to go through all the ads searching for someone and then they may message like 10 girls before they find one that's available on short notice. So, what's the harm in letting a hobbyist know you're available on short notice? If you don't need a hookah right away THEN DON'T GO INTO THAT THREAD!!!

Providers were allowed to not only post ONE post a day as you had asked for above, but actually ONE POST EVERY 12 HOURS, making it 2 POSTS PER DAY... Without having to pay anything for it...
Those rules are in place to "level the playing field" for the following reason:
1. I can post my availability and so can everyone else. I CANNOT utilize my pictures there, or videos, or happy faces, or bold and screaming fonts to call attention to myself. MY ability to put an ad together could not interfere with anyone on that thread.
2. If I post more than one post every 12 hours and you actually follow the rules, I am inundating the thread with MY availability, while you, following the rules, end up eating dust, just because I am not respectful of rules. If I, and everyone else, follow the rules, we all have one shot at visibility EVERY TWELVE HOURS, using the SAME FONTS, NO PICTURES, etc...
THAT is leveling the playing field. Now... We all have the opportunity to post ads twice a weeks. What and how you decide to do it, it's completely up to you. I know how I do it.
As for "changing the rules", yes, we can try to change rules/laws etc... But you don't do it by breaking them and stepping on other people's rights. All providers HAD the RIGHT to post EVERY 12 HOURS. I CANNOT try to change this rule by simply stepping on other ladies' rights by breaking the rules and just doing whatever the hell I want to.
It's a real shame that, because of people not following the rules, we are losing another form of marketing and communication with our clients. How's that for changing the rules?
