Since CL shut down the Adult services section I've recieved (this is no joke) 27 e-mails from providers I have contacted in the past for service asking if I am interested in an appointment? ...... (SNIP)

It's ironic you should post about this. About a week ago, the subject came up in a Fantasys network meeting. We predicted that behavior such as this would occur after CL's fall.
In the realm of what is known and unknown within the range of human behavior in this given social group, something like this shouldn't come as a surprise. Consider the fact that we're talking about a social class with a set of operational belief systems where the path of least resistance or the lowest common denominator is the norm. Taking the time to understand escort industry marketing is more effort than they want to put forth. From this perspective, the only choice is to, in a sense, become beggars.
Let's be clear about a few concepts: I'm separating CL from the mental, spiritual, and personal habits from those who solely rely on it. CL as a marketing tool is just that; a tool, no more. Whether or not (or even how) one chooses to use it is another issue entirely.
I fear that this will start to be come the accepted norm which, in my (and Fantasy's) view, is completely unacceptable. If you wanted to be e-mailed marketing newsletters, then you would have signed up to them (assuming the providers had one). Otherwise, the traditional accepted etiquette is that clients contact providers first when they are seeking service, not the other way around.
We have accepted rules of engagement for a reason and as an agency owner, I'm siding with clients on this one. This kind of behavior should NOT be rewarded in any way, shape, or form.
Sincerely and seriously annoyed at the whole concept,
