....now replaced by "adult services", which will cost $10 for first ad, which will then be screened.

Link below.

A check of several large cities reveals no erotic services after about midnight last night central time.

Ads now up will expire in 7 days.  As of the moment, there are approximately 3000 ads in San Diego going back 7 days, meaning there have been an average of more than 400 ads a day at $5 each.  CL has been making a lot of money due to the attempted crackdown.

Though the San Diego backpage, sponsored by the reader, has not had an erotic services section, other cities did.

More services might involve "therapeutic massage", though in San Diego that requires a license.

After a little more than 24 hours of CL "adult services", here's what I notice:

1) About 90% drop in the number of ads, from more than 400 a day average here in "erotic services" to around 50 for yesterday in "adult services".

2)  I have not read CL new rules, but wondered if they would allow references to TER.  I did see one gal's ad say "see my reviews on TER".

3)  CL is still allowing amount of time for money to be listed.  I did not notice any explicit language such as "fs" or "bbbj".

Anyone notice other changes?

Thanks for the info I wondered what was happening. They have a new section on CL  called Adult. looks like all the ladies moved right on over.
