Staying Safe: Escorts on E-I Who Don't Pay to Advertise on E-I

[Patricia]

There are many privileges to being a paying E-I advertiser, but when it comes to anything E-I can do to help escorts stay safe, there shouldn't be any commercial bias.

In the past we have generally restricted access to our Private Escort Forums and Bad Clients System to paying E-I advertisers.

This has never been about us wanting to exclude escorts that don't advertise with us, but for a long time we felt this was the easiest way to keep non escorts out.

However we now want to make sure genuine escorts who are not E-I advertisers are able to gain access to our Private Escort Forums and Bad Clients System. After all, bad clients don't exclusively target escorts who are paying E-I advertisers.

Of course we can't simply give access to any person contacting us stating that they are an escort, as that would make it easy for bad clients to get in via pretending to be an escort, but we will now be offering access to non-advertising escorts who can fulfill one of the following criteria:

* Former Advertisers - If you used to be an E-I advertiser but have decided not to continue advertising on E-I for now, perhaps because you are only working occassionally and find your phone is busy enough without taking out an ongoing E-I advert, we will be happy to give you access, provided we know you as a former customer.

* Escort Recommended - If you are an escort who does not advertise on E-I, we will be happy to give you access if 3 escorts that we do know are able to confirm to us that they know you.

* Client Recommended - If you are an escort who does not advertise on E-I, we will be happy to give you access if 3 clients that we do know are able to confirm to us that they know you. Please note the clients recommending you will need to be Established Clients or Trusted Reviewers on E-I for us to accept their word.

* Other Recommendation - We will accept you are a genuine escort and give you access if you are recommended to us by certain trusted third-parties, e.g. a sex worker project.

Access given to non-advertisers will be reviewed every 3 months as is access given to advertisers.

So, please drop me a PM if you are non-advertising escort who would like access to our Private Escort Forums and Bad Clients System, and you can fulfill one of the requirements above.

Sorry, but we can't give access to brand new non-advertising escorts who cannot provide the necessary recommendations.
