There has been some discussion around the GTA recently about the content of the Bad Date List on this site. Some sex pro’s, (from other sites), are concerned that by posting identifying info about bad dates so publicly, the guys may then change their M.O.’s, such as Internet handles, switch hotels they stay at or use different phone numbers etc.
On every other site we have been to in order to access bad date info, you must be a member of the site, with a password, confirmation e-mail and usually have to prove you are a sex pro.
On this site all you need to have access to any part of the site is a computer and Internet access.
We at spoc believe that info about violent or potentially violent clients should be available to all sex pro’s, all the time. In fact this info should be available to anyone who may have any kind of relationship with these men.
Many sex pro’s aren’t interested in dealing with passwords etc., and many cannot “prove” they are in the business.
Permitting only a small number of escorts this potentially life saving info, ends up protecting bad dates.
Our goal is to protect as many sex pro’s as possible. Bad date info is not about ownership of the people collecting it and no one should have to join a club in order to gain access to info about violent and potentially dangerous men.
As for bad dates changing their M.O’s, they do that anyway. Just because the info is on a private site doesn’t mean he won’t try to deceive in new ways as a matter of course.
Also it is more difficult and time consuming for them to change real names, land line numbers, real addresses and appearance. Whenever we have a photo of a violent bad date we will post it on our Bad Client List.
We would like to encourage a lively, but civilized debate about this. Pro or con we’ll post people’s ideas on this page. Everyone’s ideas will be posted anonymously of course. Please send your ideas to: welcome@spoc.ca
