Craigslist Kills Erotic Services Ads, Will Launch Adult Section
CWmike writes "Submitting to mounting legal pressure, Craigslist has announced that it will remove the Erotic Services category from its classified advertising Web site within seven days. The move comes just two and a half weeks after Jim Buckmaster, CEO of Craigslist, told Computerworld that the company had no intention of removing the category. While it's taking down the category, it will be launching a new category called Adult Services, for which each posting will be manually reviewed before it appears. 'Unsurprisingly, but completely contrary to some of the sensationalistic journalism we've seen these past few weeks, the record is clear that use of Craigslist classifieds is associated with far lower rates of violent crime than print classifieds, let alone rates of violent crime pertaining to American society as a whole,' said Buckmaster in a blog post today. 'We are optimistic that the new balance struck today will be an acceptable compromise from the perspective of the constituencies, and for the diverse US communities that value and rely upon Craigslist.'"
Oh no, now we're sure to see a spike in the unemployment rates as all the hookers file as first-timers.
I know it. there is a site where people are telling everyone they are committing a crime, and how to get in touch with them, and they want to shut it down?

I for one look forward to the drastic improvements this change will effect.
</sarcasm>
I much prefer the good old days where they would hang out in all the hotel bars looking for a John. Craiglist is too much work.
I know somebody here knows the answer to this:
What is the best place to find a hooker online?
Erotic, Lesbian, Gorilla: Pick 2.
With apologies to the person who first thought this up.
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
If there's one thing the authorities should learn it's that you can't win the game of whack-a-mole.
And even if they do win it'll only get them enough tickets for two sparkle stickers or a bouncy ball.
Well, back to rejecting software patent applications.
you can't win the game of whack-a-mole.
Actually, I believe I read about that game in one of the "requests for erotic services"...
See my journal for slashdot ID's by year. Mine created in 2005. http://slashdot.org/journal/289875/slashdot-ids-by-year
Well in that version, you always win.
Where else can I seek out an erotic lesbian gorilla!?

I am Mrs Melissa Pointy the wife of Mr Harry Pointy, my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before he lost the use of his penis due to an industrial accident in the year 2001. We have been married for ten years without a child. He is the second son of the late John Pointer, who was a Nigerian Prince. His father left him the sum of $3.5 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS but he cannot collect until he has a child.
If you would be so kind as to have sex with me until I conceive I will pay you a 10% gratuity for your troubles.
To obtain tickets to Nigeria please contact me so I can have my attorney send you instructions to buy airline tickets and pay for lodging.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my attorney who is in Europe as he will be the one to assist you this endeavor.
Your's Truly,
MRS.Melissa Pointer.

This is all about the First Amendment! Just last month I was arrested for offering to sell cocaine to an undercover cop - I never even sold him the drugs! And when I offered him pictures of naked underage boys and girls if he'd let me go - Things only got worse!
Blatant violation of my right to free speech. If this keeps up, I'll shoot the president.

He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
Lets double check that...

They've been there all along, even with the availability of erotic services sections. Check ads in the personals sections for phrases like "roses required" or "seeking generous man".
"Male seeking... anything."

Who/what is ML? (Martin Luther?)
No, not Martin Luther.
ML is the Muggle League. It's the non-magical Quidditch league. It's not really as popular as the real one since it's just a bunch of people running around with brooms between their legs throwing balls at each other. Kind of a really sad form of LARPing, in fact.
I'm not quite sure why the OP would bring it up though. Martin Luther actually would have made more sense in context ;-)
Like this: JENNY GAVE ME CRAB LICE! DON'T CALL 867-5309!
I bet there's a site like that right now.
Bruce Perens.
wow. I doubt if I will ever see a post from Bruce Perens like that again in my life.
Anything*

"not a consumable good"
;)
This had me rolling, thanks.
how would that be a bad thing. we just add an adult section to the left margin, and mod down the stupid ones. eugenics through geek breeding... this may be the only time I've ever supported an idea like eugenics.
ML was behind a never yet resolved schism. You see, Haskell is more dogmatically pure-functional but requires mysterious intermediaries, while ML holds you have a personal relationship with Truth as represented in mutable objects.
