Well there acting all brave at Craigs list .. and red flagging everyones ads.. didnt realize you couldnt put ANY Links in, so they are policing my every move there, too.

Tried to put an ad in last night .. but didnt show up... and then tried again didnt show up, couldnt tell if I got flagged for links. Then I went to forums help there , and they say you can't List an AD Locally AND on your website , too.. or another link on the internet..

Hmm.. I didnt want to write the ad again, I put it on my website and OLA .. and since FEEBAY is charging too much , I thought Id sell these HEAVY items locally. But Its against the LAW over there to do certain things.. too, and I ran into the eBay SECRET POLICE :roll:

here is the forum link , my handle over there is ughhh in SLO http://sfbay.craigslist.org/forums/?forumID=9

I need some back up here.. shall we boycott this ,too.. geez!

Im just trying to sell a few things locally, and FEE BAY Has blocked my every move yikes!

they are wolf packing me now.. Geez. I remember when THEY were not policing our every move there, I have seen other ads on Craigs List before . that led off site to other ads. Its a sign Ive been on eBay too long. Maybe ONLY Local would be a good thing.. well we're trying everything.

So I guess they are cracking down now. Someone over there .. says I can't do BOTH craigs list for my items AND somewhere else . I got rid of the LINKS so we'll see.

I think you have a legit sale here, but your attitude is just wasting time for all who come by.

as suggested!!!!!!!

It is also possible that your pic host site is not acceptable, but please go back to your first ad, delete this one, then EDIT the first one to remove ALL the links.

Geez.. I did that ..24 hours still NO Add .. :(

OH KNOW.. Now they are saying I can't have them posted on another auction site at all?? I can't believe this. Havent they ever heard of ML multiple listings? Feels like a dictatorship again.

Heres what they are saying...now:

and your items are still on that auction site <chooseoneortheother> 03/14 16:11:11

When people 'email you for more details'.. and you send them to that auction site to bid.. your ad will get flagged down.

choose ONE or the OTHER. Not both.

and the economy is sinking lower and lower...

I got to stop reading these.. they even admit to being MEAN,

Check this post out in their FLAG Forum..

Everyone has the power to remove ads, even you. <Suomonona> 03/14 16:42:05

Every one of the billions of people who use this site are potential flaggers.

CL Staff does not sit around looking for ads or flagging them, it's the users who do the flagging.

Do you need help with your flagged off ad, or are you just here to piss and moan?

You get no guarantees that you'll LIKE the answers you're given here, but disliking the answer does not make it untrue.

I got an Idea MUTINY! :idea: Lets FLAG EM ALL! Lol

Anyone want to pipe in on this conversation? Thinking twice about posting on C. List?

Check this POST out:

Understand two things: <no_spammers> 03/14 13:24:43

CL TOU says "Only in Sevices" but apparently the Jobs category also allows links to info on THAT JOB ONLY so you can try it if you wish. See: http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/faq-job#links

HOWEVER, understand that meeting the TOU is only part of it and CL uses Community Moderation. Basically, if your community flags your ad for any reason, your ad is gone. You might read:
www.eskimo.com/~newowl/Flagged_FAQ.htm
www.craigslist.org/about/help/flags_and_community_moderation

So you can take your chances but in any case, wait 48 hours before reposting to avoid memory flagging.

Just think if you FLAGGED all of your competitors.. then you wouldn't have any. ok..Just a thought.

PREDICTION: C.List might become a TOTAL waste of time..apparently you have to be a PRO to list there.
