Yes, this is a free website that so many enjoy, especially those that take full advantage of what it has to offer, meaning here amongst things the message boards where people may talk to help one another in all that is good in being human. But the face of this website is the personals section and being free to all, it is inviting perhaps the wrong kind of person for it is a fact these last few years there is a rise in those that seek communication with a price tag. This is inevitable for such a profession or indeed a part time activity for it is a profession that is perhaps the oldest in the history of humans for there always has been those that will sell their affection for the right price and I do see such in the right context as a benefit to society.

But this place I have been here some seven years and I have noticed the change and it is a change that I believe is doing this website harm and that exemplified by how many profiles there are in the personals that state most on there are of a professional nature and if not the usual fakes and how hard it is becoming to find real people.

But it is not just in the profiles that I am seeing this for I have heard it in my local kink community; ''don't bother with CM it's full of whores and scammers, you won't find genuine people there!!! '' and this is to newbies fresh on the scene.

Now I do understand on a free website cleaning up one's act can be a momentous task, but for this website to retain any credibility I do believe it does need to weed out the financial aspect, because there exists on the message boards a bona fide place for the professional to advertise their services, so, such on the other side to do what they desire, they should I believe be pointed to the relevant section of this website to sink of swim along with the honourable that play by the rules.

Does anyone else think this website is killing itself ?

What about those that are both lifestyle and pros?
What do you suggest should be done with our profiles?

Very simple...two profiles one professional and the other not...The non professional profile would be free as it is now as long as they do not advertise their professional one.
