I am not really sure where to post this. I don't see an off topic forum yet.

I am sooooo ticked off at the flagging system on Craigslist!!!!! My ad has been flagged 3 times and I swear I am not breaking any rules. I have posted in the flag forum and no one there can offer a reason either other than some greedy son of a "gun" doesn't want the competition!!!!!!!!

Any idea's on how to get around this whole stupid flagging system????

they don't tell you why they flagged it? did you try to write to them? what is your ad about?

Chatter Forum created :)

I really don't use Craigslist so I can't help you. Hopefully one of our other members can! Welcome to TCC :)

Thanks for creating that forum. What a sweetheart.

My ad was about dishes and the email doesn't say anything other than "your posting was flagged and removed". I guess people have software that automatically looks for certain key words and automically flags them so they don't have competition. :grrrrrr:

Your very welcome. We are still figuring out things we need ;)

Well that really stinks then. I am sorry your having problems with them. If you figure anything out please let us know!

I've had listings removed too. It seems there are certian words CraigsList searches for and them removes the posts. You might try re-listing and wording it differently and see if that helps. Good luck!

I absolutely hate the whole Craigslist experience. Maybe it is just me, but I hate having to deal with people directly. Give me EBAY anytime;)

Hi There,

I am an avid craigslist user. If you could be more specific about want you posted and in which category, I would be happy to give some advice about how to avoid being flagged.

Thanks, Danielle
