At the moment the rules for fake photo reports state that "Approved Fake Photo Reports are published on the escort's profile for 3 months, after which time they will expire and no longer show. If staff are sure an escort is using fake photos, they will press a button which will remove the photos and will also prevent the escort uploading any new photos for a period of 30 days. If staff are not sure if the photos are fake or not, they will not do this".

About this banning for 30 days if we are sure the lady used fake photos. It was brought in for a good reason, that some ladies just kept putting fake photos up again and again, and we needed to do something to stop this.

However it has occurred to me that some ladies found using fake photos may simply be new and inexperienced and have made a judgement mistake in not using real photos, but are not actually 'bad' escorts so to speak. I think we should be trying to get these ladies using real photos above all else. Yes we must punish those who use fake photos to discourage the practice, but we don't want to be overly harsh as what we really want is to get them to realise the error of their ways and use real photos, not drive them away and all they'll probably do is start a new ID here.

What I'd like to propose is: If a lady is found using fake photos and given the 30 day ban, at Ad Staff discretion, if she provides genuine photos and we are 100% they are genuine, waive the ban and put her real photos up. The fake photo report would still remain on her profile for 3 months, but we'd have shown leniency in not enforcing the 30 day photo ban, in recognition of the fact that we are now sure she is using real photos. This wouldn't help the escorts who want to keep using fake photos, as they wouldn't be providing real photos, but it would help escorts who are genuinely sorry and want to change their ways and start using real photos.

I think we have to remember being an escort can be expensive, the rent, the advertising, the photos etc, and is it in anybody's interest for us to be too harsh on escorts here, if they are prepared to see the error of their ways and use real photos?

So, I'd like to propose that 30 day ban can be waived at Ad Staff discretion IF and ONLY IF Ad Staff are sure the new photos the lady is providing are genuine.

I'll add a poll to get some feedback.

Thanks
