You should have just transcribed the text into your post. ;-)
While I was hanging out with my partner today he mention he wanted some fresh white meat. I told him about Angel and Brandi and he was ready to go. Called Angel and she was game. I take him to their incall and leave him with both while I waited in the car. Dude got back to the car grinning from ear to ear. He said he got with both and had a blast. This guy is very choosy and hard to please so if he had fun then I know these are off the chain together. We were together all day and all he said was when am I coming back to M-Town so he could party with the two again. I won"t miss out again trust me. Thanks again ladies for looking after my road dawg.

I called up Karess and was invited to her incall. I went inside and washed up and we did small talk. She was wearing a small miniskirt with no panties. She is very cute I must say. I got undressed and she asked me how much I had. I told her. She said for the quickie special it would 15 minutes top. She showed me the time on the clock on when I had to be done and she would not negoiate. I said no thanks I will pass. She had this attitude where it didn"t make no difference at all either way. It was like being in a clothing store with salespeople not paying any attention to you at all. I got dressed and left. I will never even think about a session with her. However I did go by and see Jada who is always ready to please 24/7.

As far as how he's putting you women's ads down immediately is that he's using spam specific software, which automatically takes the unique URL of the ad that you posted and uses different IP addresses and various proxy servers to effectively have your ad down in 20 minutes tops, all from one location by mimicking several computers flagging the same ad. I know I'm getting a little bit technical in here with the computer speak, but the answer is to look into this software and if it's cost effective to turn the tables on him by doing the same.
I'll search and see if there is a solution to this problem with a counter for this software, but I'm sure he's paid someone or he does it in shifts with someone to sit at the computer and wait for ads to come up, then uses the software to drive every lady in Memphis crazy with this practice that he seees as a threat to his business. It really is as simple as pointing and clicking the URL's for each new ad that he recognizes as a threat into this software, no repetitive flagging needed.
The best solution that I see for you ladies is to invest in software to auto post your ads constantly, which will neutralize the attacks because it takes about 20 minutes for the software to get an ad down. The problem is that this software generally coss about $100, but I don't know how easy they are to use for people or which one is best to use. However, I'd expect a software platform aimed at such a commercial market as Craig's List to be user friendly, and a lot of the programs that I briefly glanced at had trial periods for using them.
As far as the counter attack, I'll continue to look for software similar to what he's using, which makes flagging a one click process, so that his ads begin getting the same scrutiny. From how the ads look, I'm pretty sure he's using a combination of software that specifically searches ads and makes them up using the old pictures, text styles, etc.automatically.
Really, he's using these different ad creator and flagging technology programs to bring the CL escort business to a halt.
Thanks Bob Krane I appreciate any help. If you do get your hands on any software please let me know and I would deffinately be interested in rewarding you kindly.
To anyone with auto posting software or any others listed below in Bob Kranes ads: I will be willing to give up a months worth of free half hour sessions once a week! I need to be able to post! Flagging software would just be a bonus!
This is getting worse and worse by the day. If you look back to previous days all the ads are gone. Everyday there are 5-10 new girls on top of the ones he already advertises. So many names and numbers it is impossible to keep up. I know everyone is as tired of the bs as am I and there has to be an answer to this
because by the looks of things he is already taking over.
Here are more names an numbers
Stormy 653-1923
Kiki is now using 502-1417 so is Missy with a back shot of her.
Lily 262-1815
Chelli 643-6550
644-3286 with no name
You can recognize most of their ads by the erotic rubdowns they offer or they leave no name in the ad.
I got a chance to hot one of my regulars who is back in town. Her name is Chocolate but post on CL sometime using the name beautiful. If you like Kreamy you will love Chocolate. She got that ghetto ass with perky breasts with that cocoa butter skin and brown skin complexion. She looks like the thick sistas you see in wrap videos. Needless to say I scopped her up and off to the telly we went. I got cbj and cfs that was off the chain moaning and weeping just like she got a spanking for doing wrong. This girl is a keeper. I took her for lunch later.
Thanks,
More pics coming soon!
[QUOTE=Clubking01]Sorry Michelle, I feel your frustration. You are an excellent provider, and that close-up shot of you in that low cut black top is possible my all-time favorite picture (see [b]Escort Classified Ads[/b] section, post #721).
I guess we just need to keep flagging when possible, including "Best of", when appropriate, and make sure we [i]do not[/i] patronize this crew.[/QUOTE]

It was an ad post that said : "no stings attached".
Had a dream about Michelle today. Excellent service, beautiful and sweet. PM with any questions.
Here's an article of this practice being put forth in the mainstream business world. I'm working on a solution because it's a pretty shitty practice.

Underhanded tactics plague Craigslist free ad posters
McClatchy Newspapers
Published Wednesday, June 11, 2008
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Doug Kelley was perplexed when Craigslist ads for his Sacramento carpet-cleaning business started disappearing from the popular Web site. Every time he reposted one of his classified ads, it would vanish - often within minutes.
After competitors’ ads started showing up, some of them openly denigrating his company, West Coast Carpet Care, Kelley knew he had a problem.
Since then, Kelley estimates he has spent $11,000 in attorney’s and court fees fighting his online business adversaries.
"You’d think" Craigslist "would want to get rid of the tweakers and keep good-quality, licensed businesspeople who are productive members of society," he said.
Like other small businesses worldwide using the free classified Web site, Kelley stumbled last year onto a little-known dark side of Craigslist. Some critics say it’s a situation where anything goes, including slanderous attacks and competitors ejecting each other’s ads in a process called "flagging."
Using conventional software to circumvent Craigslist rules, some individuals have figured out how to quash competition by removing ads of their rivals, whether they’re housecleaning services or real estate sellers.
Craigslist uses an automatic tool that yanks offensive or false ads if enough different users flag them. The problem: Single users can cheat with software that makes the flagging appear to be from multiple users.
It’s a different form of Internet advertising sabotage - similar to "click fraud," where individuals repeatedly click on a rival’s paid Web advertisement on Google or other search engines to run up their rivals’ costs.
They’re also slamming each other with accusations of false advertising, bad business practices and even criminal activity.
"They’re cyber-trashing each other, whether bumping each other’s ads off or defaming each other’s products," said Parry Aftab, executive director of WiredSafety, a volunteer network dedicated to Internet security issues.
She said it’s much more likely to occur on a more freewheeling site such as Craigslist.
"They can’t do that if they’re trying to buy an ad in your paper. They can’t do it on eBay because ... you’ll get in a lot of trouble with eBay. There is less moderating and less oversight of what users are doing on Craigslist."
In an e-mail, Craigslist’s chief executive officer, Jim Buckmaster, said, "We are continually updating our systems to combat ‘black hat’ software of every kind."
He also said "remedial measures, including account suspension, are routinely taken against those violating site guidelines."
That’s of little comfort to Kelley and other business owners who rely on the free advertising offered by Craigslist. They say they’ve spent hours fighting the flagging practice.
Last May, after tracing the person he believed was killing his ads, Kelley filed a lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court against James Smith, owner of Mother Nature’s Clean Green housecleaning service.
Smith could not be reached for comment. The cell phone number listed with the county licensing division is out of service, and his business address is an apartment where no one answered the door last week.
Kelley said he filed the lawsuit after Craigslist officials would not respond to his repeated complaints about unfair flagging. He sued for libel, defamation and unfair competition, his attorney said. "We subpoenaed Craigslist last October," said David Barrett, Kelley’s Sacramento attorney. "We gave them specific ads that were flagged and this guy’s posts and wanted his IP," or Internet address. "We wanted to make the connection. … They never responded."
A Craigslist official said in an e-mail the company can’t comment on a pending lawsuit.
When Smith failed to appear, Kelley won a default. A trial is set for June, but he is unsure whether he’ll pursue the case.
Kevin Koutney, also of Sacramento, runs a used vending machine business and had a similar experience. When he tried expanding to Reno and Las Vegas, he encountered opposition from a competitor who he said repeatedly flagged his Craigslist ads.
Koutney said he recently spent 15 hours over a weekend reposting his ads.
"I don’t want him to drive me out of business," Koutney said. "I’ve probably reposted over 400 ads."
Marianne Kim, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent in Roseville, Calif., says she too was a victim. "My ads would be flagged immediately," she said. "We tried to locate the person who was doing it but haven’t figured it out. Once I took my name off my ad, it would go through. It was so irritating."
Like Kelley and Koutney, Kim said she complained to Craigslist but got nowhere. "I e-mailed Craigslist several times asking how to get them to stop. I got no response at all," she said.
With 30 million new classified ads posted monthly, Craigslist is bound to get a few complaints. CEO Buckmaster said his firm always responds quickly. "All abuse reports made through our ‘abusecraigslist.org’ channel are handled by humans, typically within minutes or hours," he said in an e-mail.
Asked whether the 25-person company, which operates from a San Francisco house, has sufficient staffing to deal with complaints, spokeswoman Susan MacTavish Best said, "We definitely do."
Others disagree.
"Craigslist," said attorney Barrett, "is the freakin’ Wild West."
You ladies should try this program called EZ Ad Suite, which allows you to auto post in a few minutes. From what i've seen about these various programs, this one seems to be the easiest to use and has a trial version available to see if it works for you. Then it's about $100 for the program, if you like it and want to keep it. So check it out. I'm still working on the auto-flagging software to turn the tables on this Brian guy though.

give me some feedback so that I can know if it's working for any of you.
