Backpage Boss Busted For Pimping - The Danger of Classified Ads!

[Sterling Duchess Archer]

Quite a few holes in that article. From a client’s perspective;


“You want to know that you are going to get there and meet the person you were hoping to, instead of finding that the advert was placed on behalf of someone else and that the things listed in the advert don’t apply anymore.”
This is a regular occurrence with E-I adverts too.

“You don’t want to deal with a middle man, especially not when it comes to escorting! You want someone who has put the advert on themselves, and so they know exactly what kind of service they are offering. On Escort Ireland, our staff will actively search for third party involvement. If any is discovered, those adverts are shut down.”
Sounds like you are claiming that E-I don’t run any adverts from escort agencies?

That blog honestly really... Is it April fools

Jesus I thought I was on Buzzfeed for a minute there with the not really relevant clickbait title.

To suggest that Ferrer was involved directly is as bullshit as saying Auto Trader CEO is involved in the sale of stolen motors.

And E-I is going to get all high and mighty over ad accuracy? How many porn stars and instragram models have been allowed adverts here in the last month alone because apparently running an image through tineye is too much hassle?

REALLY?????????

They have us mugs to send in fake picture reports!! The best part is they keep using the same pictures so they don't even have to go through the trouble of doing a search to find out Kim Kardashian is not in Dublin 8!!

No they don't. I remember there was a time when you could filter Escorts as Independent and Agency. And for as long as I remember they never had any agency Girls. The facts don't lie

This thread could back fire badly.

This thread could back fire badly.

It wont backfire though. Never notice the accounts that post links to the blogs NEVER post anywhere else or respond to the comments here? They're posted by an office lackey. Same as pretending the E-I twitter accounts is controlled by Sarah. Come on, we're not (all) idiots and it makes the company look bad by keeping up the pretense.

Before your time FB, Martin used to be a active moderator and avid Liverpool fan(Previous user name was Martin Mod). But since stepping back from the moderation he just seems to post these radon links to the blogs, it's like they turned him into a Robot!! That or else some other person is using the account. Same for Lara, a great Mod in her day but now just writes blogs and seldom posts.

who is them?

Our colleagues worked in the Mods department previously and now they are writing content. no mystery here.
I have been working in the advertising team myself, never made a secret about it. They allow us to change departments, should there be a vacancy and employee expresses a wish to do that.
Martin and Lara share their blogs' content on the forums, just in case you wish to familiarise yourself with it.
Xxx

Martin should be let off the leash, oh the good old days when he talked openly about sports and more so on boxing and now he's only a shadow of his former self, come back the old Martin, all is forgiven

You probably don't realise that there are quite a few people working for EI. We all have our own roles and that allows us to be always responsive to our clients - be it on the forums, on social media, by the phone or via email. The fact that not all developers or customer service agents post in communities does not mean they don't exist and they're not doing their part. The forums are mainly managed by the moderators, as you know. I might only occasionally post on threads but that does not mean I'm not full-on active on twitter.

Ya, that's true. I spoke to Patrik in the office at 6.55am the other morning. I was kind of surprised to find anyone there. Shout out to Patrik!
