I will say some stuff that will be unpopular to most SPs. I am sorry and its not directed at you... :/
1) Twitter/Facebook links. I find this rules somewhat bad but good at the same time. I mean having a real twitter account (as in really the SP with her SP name etc) can prove its really her if managed properly. Twitter is very friendly to both porn and SPs. On the other hand FB is really not so i would avoid that one. I know it can be a hassle to create one and most SPs will create fake ones but real ones do help a lot to us.
2) Real numbers. You guys do not like clients to use fake numbers, well we would prefer as well you do the same. I know i know... its more risky for you, and maybe this is a false sense of security but i kinda "like" this change altough its not a nessessary one.
3) Pricing. Its really sad it cost that much for the real SPs. 3$ an add should be enough. But i think BP is trying to remove fake ads while at the same time thinking "if they keep paying that much, good for us and there dumb" (speaking of fake ads peoples) So far the effect seem to be showing even if not complete. Yes there is tons of BP fake ads still but there seem to be less than there was. I make it a routine to look at BP every morning as i wake up (unless i really have to go up in a hurry) as part of my morning "wake up and check my phone while laying in bed" and i seem to scroll much less pages than before. If you find me weird to look at BP everyday its just i like hanging out in my bed, and therefore i have time to do so , so why not. I kinda hope to see pop some old favourites who are retired of whatever. You never know lol. Also when i see fake ads using real indy SPs, i let them know
Fake asian ads seem to be the hardest ones... I dunno why really. It mind bug me to think there is really peoples that think those are reals....
4) Character limits. That one i think is dumb... more info the better...
I think BP has a better return especially because the fact ads have to be paid for make it that less fake ads are being post. The other free classified ads website are terrible... i browse them a few times and really they do look like the bottom of the barrel of the business. No offense to legit ladies advertising there, but so much fake or bad ads... damn.
Obviously MERB remain the true best place. I know its expensive (i paid ads myself for somebody) but the higher price and enforced rules make sure its a true SP... It gives me a piece of mind.
