To be concerned about the influence of pimps and punters on MN?

[greenwinter]

There are some very vulnerable women seeking support on this site. And yet there are several prolific posters, who have admitted on some threads they are pimps and punters, who are "advising" women.

Frankly it scares me that some women may listen to their advice. MN ban, but they keep coming back.

So please, be aware that not everyone offering advice is posting with your best interests in mind.

And please, if you get a pm from someone offering to "help" you to get into "escort work" or "sex work", ignore it and report it to MNHQ.

eh?

Beg pardon?

WTF I've never seen pimps on MN. Gosh they would get a mauling.

YABU

I've wasted way too many years of my life on MN and have never come across this.

Perhaps I've got the pimp topic hidden.

Ok then.

There was a thread earlier with just these characteristics...

Is that a real thing?

there are lots of odd threads on MN

the interweb is not a 'safe' place - anyone who treats it as a friend is daft really

No idea what you're on about. Can you link please?

Pimps?Punters? Have I missed something?

'Pimps and Punters' sounds like a good name for a massage parlour doesn't it?

thread here

Aaaah, it's a TAAT.

Why not just report the offending posts in that ONE thread, greenwinter?

lol been on mn ten years now, never seen or heard such a thing

No it is not just on one thread. It has been on a number of threads.

Never seen this in the 7 years I've been on here.

Have you been at the Greenwinter?

It's true - they mainly stick to FWR though, and MNHQ usually delete them. They post on any thread about the sex industry, usually defending prostitution, or rather their rights to use prostitutes.

They most certainly have sent both abusive PM's, and offers of "help" to vulnerable women here.

Oh this is a Daily Mail article waiting to happen, isn't it?

What is FWR?
