Default Re: Craigslist Casual Encounters

Just found this. Seems reasonable.

ok guys here it is. The study / testdone on the W4M section. As I told you i answered 200 posts in this section. Here are the results. Out of the 200 posts that I answered I received, ready for this, over 300 responses in return. Now you ask yourselves how is that possible, so I will explain. After hours of research it turns out that several of the web site spammers are linked to other web site spammers and they, I assume, share email addresses. But through time and patience I was able to put like responses together using the original post numbers so the actual total was 158 responses to my response of their posts. So in trying to keep an open mind to calculate a precentage I will stick to the 158 responses out of the 200 I answered and forget about the piggy backed emails. Ready, 21 of them were from gay men, 6 were from TS's and 11 of them were from actual real woman that were very nice and polite and real. And to those 11 woman that answered me back I wish to thank you all for your honesty and understanding as I answered you back explaining my purpose for emailing you. They were all very supportive in my efforts to clean up CL. That leaves 138 responses that were all from web spammers, and web cam girls, anddate sites and prostitutes. Absolutly amazing. That's 87.9 % of the actual 158 responses i got from answering their original posts.And if you count the in the 21 from the gay men and the 6 from the TS's, that brings the percentage to 92.7% of the 158 received that were not real posts in the W4M section. This very close to the casual encounters study, actually higher. A large amount of the posts had "aim names / ID's so that they hope you will go and send them a instant message and then they spam you. So gentlman, please please read the posts carefully, even save them or email them to your self and them compare how they are worded alike with other posts that you see. They are all saying the same thing basicly. And also, please use common sense, I am not trying to be insulting or offensive, but really pay attention to the wording of the post and you will see that they are not real. What some of the so called woman ask for in this section is just beyond belief.
