What is a grēnlisting?

Do I need an account to post an ad?

Yes, but not to view or reply to ads.

 

This is one of the ways we reduce over-posting and harrasment.

 

It also enables you to edit, cancel, display and renew your grēnlistings from your account.

 As well as helping us verify your age so that we can protect kids from the possibility of being exposed to inappropriate material.

 

Opening an account is quick and free - and we only require your basic information.

Don't worry, we don't share any of your personal information with any third parties.

Only your member name and profile are available to other members - but you can block that too!


Open your account here.

What are "Plucked Ads"?

We don't always delete your ad when a member 'flags' it.


If prohibited content is in your listing, another member may try to "Pluck it".

But don't worry...UNLIKE other classified sites, it takes 3 seperate members to "Pluck it", before it can be removed.

And even then, your ad will be seen in the "Plucked Ads" section (as long as it does not breaking any laws)!

 

Ads you could see:

Rent my wife to clean your house” or “Truck full of mud for sale from previous slide”


Ads you won't see:

Anything illegal that breaks local, state, or federal laws.

The “Plucked Ads” area is for entertainment purposes only, that is unless you have a need to buy mud?

 

 

Back
 

Is YOUR listing safe from being Plucked?

More so than with most other classified sites!


Our process slows and deters a lot of harassment that can occur when members get carried away.

In order to delete ads, you must have a valid account with us. This allows us to send you a link that must be clicked on in order to Pluck the grēnlisting.

Once the ad is removed, is it kept on our "Plucked Ads" section for 30 days.

This is an area that can be a funny, but is definitely for adults only!


You must validate your age by creating an account so that you can log in to view Plucked Ads. View at your own risk!

What is “18+”?

18+ indicates that only adults are permitted to enter that area.


We do not allow illegal material ANYWHERE in our community, but there may be circumstances where a grēnlisting may contain content not suitable for all viewers.*


We encourage freedom of speech, but we are also responsible in upholding the law, and regulating material for legal and safety reasons.


Please see our Terms and Conditions.

Being “Green”

We have been environmentally concerned and a contributor to causes from the get-go!

We didn't do it to keep up with the times!


= = It was actually one of the main reasons our CEO developed the site. ;)

 

We began by choosing a Internet Hosting Company that believes in being “Green”. They even produce more electricity than they use!

There are several ways we are a “Green” company. Please visit our GrēnRoom for more information.

Why doesn't the "Search" work?

The search field at the top of the page works, but we have taken extra precautions to protect kids from material they should not view.

 

When a term/word is entered in the search field most of grēnlist is searched.

If a State and/or City is chosen, it will search only that location.

 

The areas that will NOT be searched are the 18+ ADULTS ONLY areas.

To search these areas, you much be in that specific category...

    ...and of course, to get there, you must sign up so that we can verify your age!

 

We take protecting kids online, very seriously!

Press Releases

February 12, 2014

 

TORONTO SEX-TRADE WORKERS FIND SAFER ADVERTISING AT GRENLIST.COM

 

Grēnlist.com (green list) - A “Social” Classifieds Community, implements child-safe security measures not available on craigslist.org or backpage.com. It is a classifieds website created specifically for “responsible” adults to advertise and socialize.

 

Grēnlist Inc. CEO Ms. Cher Patrick recognized that preventing prostitution and other adult-themed activities on classifieds websites was not only unrealistic but often blurs the lines of ones legal rights to freedom of speech.

 

After repeatedly being forced into legal corners, Craigslist.org chose to remove their Escorts category rather than implement a more secure site. Creating a more secure site means reducing the number of members, thus reducing revenue.

 

Backpage.com has received plenty of negative attention for their escorts category as well, yet continues to offer ad space without taking any extra security precautions to protect children from adult content. Kids can access escort ads with nudity on backpage simply by clicking a link that reads; “I agree” (to the terms of service).

 

Being an advocate for both environmental and child protection, Ms. Patrick created grēnlist.com to aid in the protection of both entities. A percentage of profits are donated to like-causes and its functions were designed to include precautionary measures to protect children from adult content.

 

Any person can go to grēnlist.com and view/reply to general classifieds categories.

However, a user must join (free), and log onto the website to do any of the following:


- Post Ads in any Category (adult themed or other)

- View any Adult/18+ Category

- Create/Save/Search Member Profiles

- Chat Live with other Members

- Link Ads to their Social Networks

- Report (“Pluck”) the ads of other members

- Create Listing Alerts

...plus many more features not offered by craigslist or backpage.

 

These measures have proven to reduce user and member harassment. In many cases, new visitors often refuse to create an account and leave the site entirely.

 

I really don't care if some people don't want to sign up. They are often the people who don't care about the welfare of our kids and our planet...and more people should care about how our actions effect our futures.”

- C. Patrick, CEO

 

About The Website

Ms. Patrick began the design and development of Grenlist.com in 2011. The classifieds website has only recently been 'launched' through social media venues, marketing and advertising. The current and largest group of members reside in Toronto, ON Canada with 82% of revenue being generated via $10(USD) Escort ads postings. Of course, most other ads are free to view and post, not unlike its competitors.
