This guy manages to have like 50 craigslist a day and doesn't get FLAGGED but I do?

    Just out of curiousity, is there some special way to make your ads become unflaggable in Craigslist? Because if there is, I am interested.

    If you go to Craigslist Toronto Canada, and search the term FTA. You'll notice that 99% of the ads are the same guy and it seems his ads are UNREMOVABLE.

    I've tried posting on the topic and I get flagged and removed immediately. That's why I'm assuming he has some sort of tactic that keeps him from being removed.

    Also, I beleive this guy purchased a clickbank product and re-selling it over and over therefore cutting out the vendor.

    He is totally spamming the hell out of craigslist and ruining it for others.

    You should report him to Craigslist - I always report scumbags like that on any site.

    Well I've clicked the report this ad to craigslist many times, but his ads remain on it. I was hoping witht help of everyone on this forum. We could all flag his ads to make a statement.

    Reporting his ads hasn't done a thing! It quite frankly *&%$@#*$ me off.

    Don't bother with the "report this ad" feature - just copy and paste the URL and send it to Craigslist directly via email.

    Thanks I just sent an email to their spam email address. I doubt they'll even bother. But it's worth a try. People like that aggrevate me! Like I said, it ruins it for others.

    He's probably flagging your ads or has a team scouting for anyone posting ads that could compete with him. Not sure why his wouldn't be getting removed though unless they are actually legit ads which from what you're saying it doesn't sound like they are.

    Guaranteed he is flagging my ads, I emailed him about it, and he denied it of course. But yeah, I hope he gets banned from using it, there is no need for 50ads a day on the same topic. All it does it makes the opportunity look like a joke.

    Are you reporting proficient CL posters out of jealousy?

    What kind of stupid question is that?

    I don't use CL. If you actually read my post, I said that I report scumbags. I do so on any site where I find them. If you're abusing the system - whether it's on eBay, Adsense or anything else, I'll report you.
