Question about posting rules

[SyrenTheMermaid]

Below is a quote I've taken off a different thread in a different website and forum:

"We have never had a requirement regarding amount of detail in a post, we never will. You're free to post as much or as little as you wish. You're free to do that for whatever reason you wish including this idiotic notion that some of you guys develop that posting here somehow helps LE. It doesn't. Cops may or may not check in on the forum but it is not, nor will it ever be a source of "intelligence" for them. I know a lot of retired cops and they all say the same thing, "not admissible, can't use it" everything here is hearsay, nothing can be used in court or for any legal proceeding. We know this because after 17 years and 2 million posts the number of posts used in court remains zero and always will be. It's not qualified evidence."

Is this true?
Also, are there any rules here on ECCIE on what can and cannot be posted in regards to not incriminating yourself, the site or anyone else? (Or any other posting rules that relate to the law or LEO?)

Thanks!

In addition to just lurking and reading various posts and several forums to get ideas about how this site works, this is your first reading assignment...

FROM A LOCAL NEWS ARTICLE:


On Craigslist, the advertisements are subtle. But other websites offer more explicit descriptions of services.

“Michelle is my favorite provider. She always offered two pops,” says one 2012 review of Diamond Spa on RubMaps.com. The review was used as evidence in a recent federal trial.

“That means the male patron ejaculated twice,” Oblinger said in court.

One of the advantages to this site over the one you quoted is that details of reviews here are seen only by premium members. While it is pretty unlikely that a review would be used against a provider (or a client), some amount of discretion isn't a bad idea. Maintain anonymity as much as possible. Screen potential clients to ensure that you don't end up in an entrapment situation.

As a provider, you cannot stop people from posting reviews. Nor, I think, do you want to. Reviews help your business. But to make the assumption that nothing could ever be used against you is not necessarily accurate (based on the article). I'm not a lawyer or a member of the law enforcement community, so there are probably specific details on what may be admissible in court that I'm unaware of. That said, just be smart and take reasonable precautions.

As far as incriminating yourself, NEVER EVER sell sex or services. You may ask for a donation for your TIME. That's IT. Anything that happens during that time between two consenting adults should be completely legal. If you mention that you are arranging a situation in which you exchange money for any sexual act, you could be incriminating yourself.

(As I said, I'm not a lawyer).
