Graiglist need to modify the platform, anything i post for sale or community gets flagged or removed.
I never posted porn or sexual related posting.
It's time for everyone to forget graiglist and move on.

What a horrible platform! They allow posts from scammers and backyard breeders! But any legitimate breeder or business placing a post they Flag! BEWARE IF YOU LOOKING FOR A DOG THROUGH CRAIGSLIST - They are why real business and breeders get a bad rap!

Fake site
August 16, 2024

They always remove my ads for no reason. Fake hack site run by idiots from San Francisco. Avoid posting there if you can. Must be a better place to go than them

Don't post on Craigslist. They have worst filters to remove your advertisements post for no reason. And they have stupid people flagging you down again for no reason. Especially if you're a paid user. They probably won't refund you back. They don't even have phone customer service even for paid users. Good luck trying to get your money back and email them if they even respond back. They never responded back to me in an email. This is very annoying.

Craigslist will let prostitutes and down-low s*x get posted all over the site, but the moment someone posts something gentle, genuine, or basic, it will be flagged into oblivion.

CL is the place scum reigns supreme and legitimately normal people are denied participation.

Going without community contact is better than using Craigslist.

BE WARNED!
February 29, 2024

This site is a BAD, BAD joke...
They remove/deactivate your listing for no valid reason because the site is run by people who are as smart as a box of hair and that is why it is packed with junk, crap and trash.
And good luck if you try to contact customer service and ask for an explanation, you better off talking to your chair!

I placed 4 new postings on Craigslist for various items I no longer need. # of the 4 were removed without any explanation whatsoever. Very innocent a simple postings.
No way to find out why they were removed. I'm going back to ebay.

I am blocked by Craigslist for no apparent reason. They give an email site to respond to, no one responds back. No idea why I am blocked, only posted normal items such as Gas Dryer, auto, etc. Never any complaints, posted maybe 5x in the last 2 years. Have emailed them 10x in last 6 months w/no reply. This is what it shows:

Your request has been blocked.

Apparently if I pay $5 for a music lesson ad it will place me in the poor house...I meant it will place me above all the non-payers in the lessons listing.

Good.

However, if everyone wants to pay $5 then Craigslist gets to make out on the competition and I pay $5 often just to be sure my original listing isn't now buried at the bottom.

This makes it impossible for a musician to post an ad like it was before they started charging.

This works for you if you're in a small city.

This works against you (and for Craigslist) if you're in a big city.

Furthermore, you're forced to charge your potential student more just to be seen on Craigslist in September 2023

Realtors are trying to get it taken down but Craigslist come on get with the program it's a scam this is like the fifth one I found
