I'm considering sending a note to BP asking them to do something about the problem
[QUOTE=Aragorn;2553943]Back in the days of Boolean search terms you could search escorts and omit Asians. Can we force the BP search engine to do that?[/QUOTE]Things have gotten really bad the past week. At times, the fake Asian ads are over half the ads on one page, and there are some girls posting new ads every half hour. Adding in the usual fakes, I don't think more than 20% of what's posted is even real anymore. I've researched two dozen girls and called some of them, but nothing has panned out for me this week. The known, reliable ones seem pretty busy with people staying close to what they know.
Sammy in Springfield's ads looked on the border of maybe being real and maybe stolen. Google Image confirmed they were stolen from a curvy model named Lilli Luxe.

Gentlemen, it's suddenly as bad out there as it's ever been. Be careful, and make sure you do your homework before going anywhere.
[blue]The USA Adult Classifieds is open for business, make the move now before BP gets closed, you know it's coming. So tell all the chicks you know to advertise there. It's still free.

I've flagged a bunch as well
[QUOTE=Aragorn;2557544]While watching tv I pulled out the iPad and and started reporting every Asian ad with fake pics I came across, as excessive posters scammers.
All of you should do the same. Consider it mowing the grass.[/QUOTE]But I don't know if it makes a difference. If enough of us were doing it, the ads would come down, but is there an algorithm which recognizes the flagged ads and posting IP addresses, and stops them from going right back up?
I've sent two emails to BP support, but have only received auto-replies so far. I'm not holding out hope of a human reading them, and doing anything about the problem.
There's a mini-economics lesson here: When there's ownership and a cost / rules for use, abuse is kept to a manageable level. When something is free, everyone takes advantage while no one takes responsibility. It's called the tragedy of the commons.
I'm going to mention the USASG classifieds to girls I see, and if all of us do the same, it could start migrating some of the real girls over here. It's a bit like trying to move advertising from networks to cable in 1978, but you have to start somewhere.
It's all worth a try: Gentlemen, let's all take a few minutes to flag the fake ads as spam / excessive posting, and mention USASG classifieds to girls as a way to cut through the clutter.
[BLUE]Thank you

The law of unintended consequences strikes again!

A2[/blue][/QUOTE]For Uncle LEO: They thought getting credit card companies to turn their backs on BP would somehow improve the situation. Instead they've opened up Pandora's Box and unleashed far more ads than were ever on BP before. And not only more ads, but even more of the kinds of ads (fake pic AAMPs, etc.) that might be cover for the traffickers they claim to be so concerned about. So, IMHO, the effect of the policy change has been to make things much worse for LEO. How f*cking brilliant is that?
For BP: Their change of policy to allow free ad posting may have been a big f*ck you to LEO or it may have been designed to keep from losing market share so people will still use and view the website. Whatever the reason the unintended consequence is that they've now got more ads than they probably have the resources to manage. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any response from a live body at BP about flagged ads and I doubt anything will happen other than what's already baked into the current algorithm, if anything. My guess is that BP is desperately trying to figure out alternative pay schemes and then they'll have to scramble to try to put the genie back in the bottle.
For hobbyists: We're now faced with information overload and, even more than before, a lot of that info is pure crap! The value of homework is higher than ever but so are the challenges. My personal search strategy is to use gallery format (as suggested by BB) and to narrow the search by region (NOVA, DC, MD) and narrow it even further by city (Manassas, Tysons, Springfield) or some other relevant keyword (latina, colombian, reviewed). Not a perfect strategy but helps cut down on some of the crap and of course I'd certainly love to hear how others are dealing with this.
USASG classifieds is attracting more advertisers but there are still a lot of providers out there who don't yet know about it. That will improve over time but BP is still the major player in the market but has unfortunately made it more difficult to find the wheat among the chaff.
How to Deal with the Mushrooming of BP
The analysis here about how BP makin adult ads free to post has caused the # of ads to 2 x /3 x is spot on. But the key factor, as others have pointed out, is that the bulk of the increase is in the fake ads! So if you're eyes are already trained to spot fake pics, it can actually be easier (faster) to get through a day's worth of BP ads now.
I look through ads going back to certain point in the day thru gallery view. I typically used to go through 8-10 pages of ads, but now the same period of time takes up 15-17 pages! But when looking at them on a large screen monitor (HD resolution helps a lot), you can actually sift thru these pages very quickly because most of the ads are obvious fakes AND there is a high amount of ad repetition. For example, 1 page of ads now can only cover like 15-20 minutes of time, because half the ads on the page are redundant.
[blue]Here's another idea;
The USA Adult Classifieds is open for business, make the move now before BP gets closed, you know it's coming.
