Craigslist is sooo freaking ridiculous!

    I'm sick and tired of this, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I posted an ad on Craigslist an hour ago, and it's still not showing up on the main page.

    It's not an "ad" it's a legit post seeking help from local college students here. I even used the names of the local colleges. I didn't post any links, pictures, or HTML.

    Yet I see a bunch of piece-of-shit spammers who break all the damn rules, yet my legit post doesn't get seen on the main page. It says it's published but it's not on the main page.

    WTF??? Seriously, I wonder if Craigslist is run by a bunch of spammers. This so messed up, this is the second time I've tried this. The first time my ad never even showed up, ever. So far this time, it's been an hour, and posts that started after me are showing up (more f'n spam) and mine is still not there.

    Are there like some magical secret techniques to posting a legit ad on Craigslist??? Like what if I want someone to mow my lawn, do I have to buy a software that posts ads all across the nation?

    I don't know if I even want anyone's damn help screw Craigslist. I just wanted to rant. I want say a big F U to all you losers on here who spam Craigslist, because you're the stupid spammers who are ruining a legit site that was supposed to be for local people.

    This is ridiculous.

    Although personally I've never sold on 'Craigslist', I've bought a thing or two.

    Overall two very good experiences for me; it's saddening to hear of your problems. Perhaps there is a contact email address or phone number you could contact?

    Best

    Yeah, well good luck trying to sell something. And by the way, everyone knows you're not really Dr. Phil, so stop trying to pretend like you are. Do you pretend you're Dr. Phil in real life too? That would be plain weird.

    did you click the link in confirmation email? ;)
    not to mention you need real email upon initial listing and max 24 hours wait time

    I never tried to sell on there but i have seen the spam and it is annoying. I can't bad mouth the site because the vehicle I drive right now I got from a seller there and also the job I have right now I found on Craigslist as well.
