    Hi. I often come to this forum looking for answers and there are always answers plus lots of other great ideas. So I would first like to say thank you to all the people who post here.

    I finally had to sign up because I needed to ask you all a question.

    I do Craigslist posting and I have heard alot about the new optical spam software that was implemented in July. I understand the basic concept that it recognizes the image ad based on what it looks like regardless of other variables. But what I don't understand is ads that I think have been caught by this can them sometimes be posted using different image hosting websites. So to me this doesn't make sense it can either see it or it can't. Right?

    If anyone has any information on this please share it with me I have done google searches and come up with nothing and I can't seem to find any posts on this forum that talk about it either.

    I just basically want an idea of how it works and maybe some links on the webs that talk about it if you have one.

    Thank you all in advance for taking the time to help me. :D

    I would stay away from CL. They are cracking down pretty hard on it.

    That is kind of a dissapointing answer. But I do get what you are saying.

    But if anyones still has any information I would appreciate it.
