First Cl now BP its getting real bad out here

just thought I would share an e-mail I recieved this morning.

http://blog.backpage.com/

With the raid of escorts.com, shut down of craigslist adult pages,I guess backpage can see the writing on the wall and are being proactive. LE has been real active lately in many markets. I guess the time is coming where dawgs and providers are going to really have to make hard decisions weather the hobby is worth the risk.

Or go underground. Invite only board?

I often run an ad on BP so my local guys can keep my number fresh in their minds. Today when I went to edit it to say I would not be available today because of work, it would not let me edit it. The message came up that the ad could not be edited because it violated their rules. But it let me place the same ad in Lafayette advertising my visit there for my regulars next week. They are definitely checking into it. Not sure what part was considered a violation? I don't put half the stuff some of the other girls put in theirs??

Why say something about cracking down on those who place "illegal" ads when you have a section for ESCORTS? Geez. Just sayin'. I mean, who did you think would advertise there? I got a call from a BP sales rep asking me if SHE could place my ad there for me using info from other ads she saw! I hadn't ever used them before. To make it worse, months later, I placed the first BP ad of my lifetime...and I got so many rude and retarded responses that I will not be using it again.

It seems like there is alot of LE pressure out here right now. With the post in the Alerts section concerning federal officals working with local LE, and the raid on Escorts.com, Backpage tightening their belt. It almost makes you wonder is anything out here really safe with respect LE. If the feds can come in and bust Escorts.com, what stops them from coming in and busting ECCIE tommorrow.I just see alot of risk right now for the hobby.
