So if LE is all over Craigs List, and I dont doubt it, Why is it that you never see an ad warning others to stay away from certain providers that are LE or for the ladies,MOS posing as clients ? Will LE discourage posts of this nature using some sort of leverage in reguards to specific charges ? just wondering, you think you would see one or two posts like that.

Once a hobbyist is busted, I think he may be focused on getting out of the spot he is in...chatting with lawyers etc...rather than worry about posting that info online. And most busts are not long affairs but just last a day or two.
Having said that i do see some warning on CL, which one has to take with a pinch of salt as it may be work of competing providers

I've seen posts from providers giving info on who busted them but it dosen't last long, gets flagged.

This one's easy.  If you were to learn that a certain provider were actually a member of LE, and then post a message warning others to stay away, you'd probably be arrested and charged with a felony (interfering with a police investigation).

Post from an Internet Cafe or Library computer using your pen-name to help break up the trail.

Many people and hotels have OPEN wireless connections that you can piggy back on with only slightly less anonynimity.

(LE) can be in any website they desire posing as providers & clients!!..1 thing ive learned as a client thur  many years is not to listen to the rumors at all ither by providers or other clients...

there are warnings but they flagg them fast....i have had 20 friends and 3 clients busted on cl
