New Guidelines for posting on BP??!!! Wtf??

Okay so i use bp for posting sometimes and i just posted an ad...but when it went live, the site administrator had made some changes to my ad...I offer a 15 min, and a 30 min session but they removed it from my ad..so i sent an email and asked why come i wasnt allowed to edit my ad so that i could put the correct session/pricing info..(i thought it was a clerical mistake made by me) Well BP emailed me back and informed me of the following:

NOTICE:
- Pricing for legal adult services must be for a minimum of one hour. Example: 15 minute services are not allowed.
- You may now only use simple HTML (HTML images will be turned off soon)
- Ads can be a maximum length of 1500 characters.
- Do not post obscene images, e.g. uncovered genitalia, bare butts, sex acts, etc.
- Do not use code words such as 'greek', ‘gr33k’ 'bbbj', 'blow', ‘GFE’, ‘PSE’, 'trips to greece', etc.
- Do not suggest an exchange of sex acts for money.
- Do not post content which advertises an illegal service.

yup thats why i have not renewed my ads there lately because they mess it up or they get "community removed" i have lost a lot of money that way and then they tell you "too bad"

Just don't say things like quickie or hhr
i just saw an ad that shows prices with the last price hr

I bet it will take less than 24 hours for the girls to figure out ways to post around the new guidelines.

Never forget, escorting is legal, offering sex for money is not!

What I'd LOVE to see if any images needing to be approved as real of the girl by sending a photo to BP of the actual girl holding a Backpage sign in front of her to get rid of all the scammer bait and switch ads
That explains why every single body rub ad where it used to say "30 mins" that text has magically disappeared.

brooke,
sorry you became livid, outraged, and disgrunted after reading their email.
it's their site and they make and enforce their rules.

anyhoo, lesson to learn...
ya pay yer money, ya takes yer choice.
or
live it or live with it.

hope the rest of your day is fabulous.
i'm going to take a walk outside in a bit and soak up autumn in dallas, tx!!!
I will be waiting mr mason!!

Jules, yeah that is pretty f'd up...so i guess no more bp posting for me!! I wonder what they are doing to EROS...

Darth, that is exactly what happened to my posting..and when i read it i was like "hold on a min what happened to my hhr and quickie sessions??" but anyhoo for anybody that wants a hhr session, they are STILL more than welcomed to see me!!
thank your lucky stars.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why people insist upon playing with fire, but more power to those that do.

Wow...I would have never known that they were doing this if I didn't read this thread. I just checked my Bodyrub ad and sure enough my 30 min rates are gone.

That's kind of scary - I wonder who is calling those shots and if it's fear-related?

Y'all should try the Thrifty Nickel - as part of robs38's management team, it is cheap and easy to advertise his happy hour "Dirty Sanchez" special where I reap the benefits more than I did on his "Purple Mushroom Stamp" half price special on BP and that is saying a lot!!!

They aren't telling you what can and can't do as an escort, they are telling you what you can and can't advertise as an escort.

Branching away from BP and preparing for the coming closing is a real smart thing to do. Yes it will cost more but it won't be near as hot as BP is. Especially for massage providers.

wow, thats funny, I dont really see the difference in listing a 30minute session as opposed to an hr session

I was thinking the same thing Gonzo. I understand if they are posting different prices such as 30 min L1 80 and 30 min L2 140, but that's not the case.

Isn't it supposed to be that I manage you and put your ads up on BP?..I think your confused and these services are what you told me you you wanted in your ad. So now we have to come up w/another ad because u ruined it.
