If Craigslist can "ghost" a local ad for a Schwinn 8 ways from Sunday whenever they feel like it, then they can certainly stop giving (seriously like super-lazy-dont-even-gotta-try) hackers & cyber criminals access to millions of kids phones worldwide, who are selling their skateboards & Pokemon cards & gotta deal with this garbage: (please see pic)
Plus the usual 5 or so virusy emails in my inbox. They (CL) make billions on paid ads now, so they can fix/filter this tired scam thing easily, but seem to choose to ignore anything that involves any effort whatsoever, leaning instead on a few tired warnings nobody sees or reads, especially kids.
I dont think I've ever had this particular problem with LetGo, 5 mile or any other free site I can think of thats still around. Not since like 2000? Not even Offer up (pretty bad one btw) was all virusy & full of scam emails like CL still is. Usually only seeing this nowadays on completely unmanned or abandoned "zombie" sites -not ones that are actuallly "legit" businesses with over a billion in ad revenue. Truly disgraceful that people *still* have to put up with 30 criminal fakers for every 5 ads they place on there.
Craigslist flagged I don't like this page is scammed no safe here I don't recommend the people I post
Wow does craigslist get really $#*!ed. Every single post I put up is flagged by craigslist before anyone can see it yet there can be 50 million porn ad and hookers and prostitution ads, what the heeeeeck... I read online forums and other people in same situation are clueless on what to do well not me you will see.
My boyfriend and i hit a lottery number and decided ti give out free money to nearby women. We posted an ad on craigslist that any woman in our area could meet and get an envelope with money in it. No sex, no touching, just get the envelope and leave.
It got flagged immediately (because allll the Craigslist worthless horny men rather degrade women for money so they saw our ad as competition threat). But the ads that entend to degrade women for money stayed up running no problem
Craigslist is AWARE of those abuse degrading ads but will let them run even when flagged. They cater to little old horny men who want to degrade women.
Test it yourself, have you and some friends flag a degrading ad, it will still run. Then make an ad about helping women for FREE, it will get flagged right away
Craigslist is a MASOGONISTIC site. Prospering off the degradation of women
I use this service when I need to buy something very cheap. It is convenient in use. The last time I bought a used Apple watch for my husband. It is like a new.
DL gay married men preying on trannys & hetero men, crossdressers pedophiles, Sex addicts this is what Craigslist missed connections section is all about, Craigslist should rename their: Missed Connections section to,
LOSERS section
All genuine adds are removed. And there is no reason or explaination. Same adds if reposted are removed
Craigslist still promoting sex & sex trafficking under "missed connections"! I have reached out several times and no response at all.
Dont waste your time, with it now no longer being free to post and usually nothing but scams ill be sticking to facebook marketplace
My ad was written like this,
I'm offering a wonderful 60 min massage.
My place or yours.
*******532.
Call or text the day your ready.
Craigslist is horrible because they let dealer's take over because the dealers pay them money, $3 and add. And if a dealer is unhappy with a private add like mine, then they will get the moderators to take it down because it's competition at a cheaper price. He'll take the ad down without telling you or letting you know and then when you reach out to the Forum to find out why it would take him down you get treated like garbage and talked down to, because those people have no life and just like to have power over people just like some police officers nowadays
Always get flagged bs site most of the time if you do get a response it's some creepy person trying to hook up its bs
Craigslist has become a Spam and over posting bastion wasteland. I looked in the cell phone section and 90%
Of ALL ads are one guy over-spamming his ads w useless titles. Hundreds of the same ad.
A waste. Craigslist does nothing about these schmucks
I have moved on to faceb marketplace
This site sucks 110%. They leave moronic nitwits power to flag and remove honest ads to rid the competition. You can't post ads a couple towns away. WTF? This is the dumbest selling site ever. Follow their guidelines... flagged! Post an ad... flagged! I'm sick of it! That's why the Legal Beagle team that took on PetSmart (soon to close) and other corporations is on the case against Craigslist. The wrath coming will end Craigslist. Let's hope someone will create a site similar that doesn't flag or remove posts. Flagging a ad that's for a few towns over is nuts. Die Craigslist! Soon you will, go Legal Beagle team.
I am out of Iowa. I used to post stuff all the time for sale, and look to find things. Now last year Craigslist started charging money to post. They got to be joking. Now not much is being posted so can't find anything. And if you do post something you get scam emails and texts all the time. Have used them for years now they are a joke will use different sites now.
All you get for posting something to sell on craigs list is trolls scams and spam. Its not worth the time to post anything. They know it, we know it sir hope they consider shutting it down. Its just a place where shady crappy awful people hang out and wait to prey. A very dark useless place.
Now Craiglist had decided millions of dollars in advertising isn't enough. They are charging owners to post listings. Very greedy company.
If your not gay your post will get flagged. They and all the sick creepers on the planet it took over. I use doublelist. FREE and the creeps and gays have their own place to post.
I requested a female driver ed teacher so I could regain my drivers license. These craigslist owners immediately put a male responder to my ad and tried to convince me males are better for me. I can now understand why because san farancisco is the biggest gathering of gay people in the world. I will never post on craigslist again
Pathetic site now scammers by the dozens bad sellers bad buyers very ignorant people posting no control by craigslist what so ever the site is a JOKE! My rating is not a one it's a ZERO!
