I am not sure what rule I'm breaking but my ads keep getting flagged and removed. All I did was posting my graphic design service as well as my blogging service (two ads) in my city. In less than an hour or so they were flagged and removed. I don't know what TOS I broke though....lame....
If your two ads are similar, they will flag it. At the same time, you cannot put two ads in different cities.
no my ads are in the same city, in terms of time, one after another but does that even matter? The ads aren't similar they offere different services
Sometimes competitors will flag posts just to eliminate them. It had happened to me before. Just ignore it and repost it if you don't think you're breaking any rules.
Not that I am aware of. As far as I know they are pretty much immediately removed from CraigsList. If you are really concerned, I would contact CL. I'm not a CL moderator so I don't want to get you into trouble. But I don't see any problems reposting if your post was legitimate.
CL staff review nothing, it is how they cover their arses. Anything you post, if it can get through their spam filters, is open game to anyone who wants to flag your ads. They don't need any legit reason to flag other than they want to. This is the same for any kind of ad, posted in normal free sections, posted via PVA or even paid sections. You can get flagged anytime, anywhere.
I haven't had an ad in Craigslist in a few months, but I have advertised my graphic business in the past in Craigslist and I have never been flagged, so that makes me think there is some other reason other than your competition. Clint
Are You promoting anything that is not legit? I don't know if they even care though but that could be the problem...
I'm only promoting my blogging and graphic design services, all legit. Nothing spammy nor blackhat, guess i will try and repost. Thanks for the answers guys. Now I know CL is a bitch lol
Its people that are reporting it. Its what sucks about craigslist. People will report it and get it flagged you just need to create many ads with different accounts
something else you might consider is posting the ad content on the cl forums and asking them why it keeps getting flagged. its possible you're doing something wrong that you just haven't thought of
guys...this is lame...embarrasing lol.....i posted in the wrong section, i posted in the job offerered (without a need to sign up) instead of in the service offered (need an account). Stupid me...lesson learned.
