    Hi Guys,

    does anyone have a list of Craigslist Category (sections), which DON'T require phone verification to post?

    I just tried posting a "For Sale" ad in LA, and was presented with a PV page. I thought it was only the Services and Jobs sections which required PV's ?

    Anyone know any great Craigslist forums outside of Craigslist ?

    From what I understand CL's posting rules change regularly (sometimes daily). I was reading somewhere that their spam filters are updated constantly and differently depending on a category / subcategory. So what might've worked yesterday (like posting without a PV in certain categories) today may not. Then it may work again. Go figure!

    Yeah, but generally they'll allow ads in the Sales category to go up without phone verification.

    Just tried this morning, and I was presented with a PV page to fill out for the first time ever.
    Personally I've never had the "one day this scenario . . . the next day another scenario" issue's, CL has generally been good, but I'm just trying to figure out which states, which cities, which categories can be posted without PV.

    If I find more info I'll post here myself.

    Craigslist is really starting to suck, worse than ever. I tried posting an ad that was within its guidelines and it keeps getting blocked. It says due to over posting limit and I didn't have anything else posted. Maybe just a gliche, but it was a waste of time.

    Since few years ago, Craigslist rules is strict. So there is hard to post multiple of same ads to it. And also post to the different country from yours.
