And you know what else I've gotten from CL? I posted an ad for my buck and got 2 calls from "telephone operators" from a third party asking if I would ship "the item". :rolleyes:

I get so pissed at losers who scam people (or try to scam people) on CL. Are they really that pathetic???
:lol:
I would have shipped my stinky goat for that :gig

So did your post really get flagged or was it a scam?

I have found that some folks on Craigslist simply don't like the way you add is worded so they flag it. No biggie. I just relist it in another section or another area and it usually ends the BS.........

Where I am here peta members will flag any animal for sale, they get their friends and I believe all they need is 5 complaints and it will be removed. We just keep posting every time they get removed.

I get flagged for posting portrait artist for hire type ads IN ARTIST SERVICES! Even when I copy the style of someone else's ad that didn't get flagged. I don't get it. I think I get flagged because I can spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. For real! :rolleyes:

Pretty sure that there are many people that feel their job is to flag in CL.
We have HUGE problems here in AK, especially in Farm and Garden.
We do have a newer alternative, www.alaskaslist.com , but we still have to utilize CL to reach the general public.

Hey, I was a cl trolling flagger......until they removed the flagging option from the "massage therapy" section. Right after the craigslist murder of the prostitute who advertised in that section. :rolleyes: I was just trying to protect the obvious twits who were really licensed and advertised on cl, by flagging the obvious hookers.

I got an ad for furniture flagged and removed once! What is up with that!
