If SE banned open advertisement of erp in any public channel, then we could still have other rpers use PF without having to endure the prostitute listings, as long as players report them of course. If people find out that they could get in real trouble if they're caught that will certainly be enough of a deterrent for many players.

There is no need to sweep all rpers and toss them in the same box when it's possible to target the actual problem.

And lets say SE do ban all rp advertisements from PF, well we would still have to hope they would get reported which is the exact same as hoping erp advertisements would get reported...so I see little point in banning all rp listings if the method of dealing with only erp would be the same. No need to punish everyone.
I don't disagree, ultimately the bad apples need to be removed before they ruin the barrel. The issue is timing, and Square seems to be content to just sit on this for now.

That's only going to make it necessary to remove more "bad apples" as time goes on. Perhaps they're just sitting on it now because they've waited too long.
