Months back I had an account on Doublelist - it was ok, but closed my account due to issues I was running into. I decided to try again and went to open a new account as I no longer had access to the old one as it was closed. Well I cannot get passed the phone number verification - because my number is STILL associated with the old account - and it has been long past 60 time frame they mention. I went to use their help and FAQ section to figure it out - nope. I went to attempt to contact them - no email to email them or anything. I did find the email for their legal department so I thought I'd email them - the response I just now got back:

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

554:5. 7. 1: Relay access denied

Yea, in my opinion Doublelist is horrible and is not being operated responsibly - but that's my opinion.

The site blocks and denies nearly every post I try to put up, I even put the word testing in a post and that was the only word in it repeated several times and they denied. Copied someones short post and removed some words, they denied that too. They are also blocking my responses to ads. I tested it with a friend who is able to post ads, and responded to his ad and he never got the response. They discriminate against people they don't like for some reason. Completely useless garbage site,

After signing up I could not get verified they kept asking or telling me try a different email I was stupid enough to give them a couple but I have spam emails specifically for that reason so it's not a big deal but I am convinced that doublelist is just total bull$#*! and it's a scam I believe what they're doing is collecting cell numbers and email addresses to sell to third parties for advertising and marketing that's what I believe I'm not saying that's what they're doing that's what I think they're doing whatever it is that they're doing they're not providing the service that they claim to do it's bull$#*! don't waste your time PS ****off double list

I decided to port and add up, looking for a male/male relationship. The ad originally got posted. However, since the dating miscellaneous section does not have listings m4m, f4m, Etc., I thought I would put that in my ad. The only saying that I changed, was that I was a gay male looking for another gay male. It flag the term gay as vulgar oh, but said I could still post it. The change has been in review for 6 hours now. I do not understand why a place that wants to put up success stories, with people meeting, would not allow an innocent relationship ad for a gay man finding another gay man. This is a rarity. I would think doublelist would jump on it. It appears as though they won't. I cannot change the ad, because the link is not usable, until it is out of review. This is exactly what Craigslist was up to.

They keep flagging the ads for no reason. Seems they like to cater few selected patrons. After a few instances, I copied another ad, made minor changes and posted. The result was the same, it was flagged. So for sure some kinda prejudice behavior.

You could use the same language in a posted ad, post your own ad using that language, and it will be rejected. Or worse, it sits in "review" forever and never posts. And after responding to a few ads myself without getting a result from the original poster, my email is almost immediately inundated with spam. Doublelist isn't even a poor man's Craigslist. It's just total crap. If something's free, you're the product. Doublelist seems like nothing more than an email harvesting site for direct ad porn spammers.

I knew this site was
Not going to allow graphic language/ pics for ads, so I adjusted my ads accordingly. Some ads flagged. I didn't know why. Contacted them? No reply at all. Then a month ago I've " been placed on hold/ suspended " very insulting, since I've been cleaning up as I go. Contact doublelist again. NO REPLY AT ALL. Give me a clue I say. Tell me what I did to earn a suspension.

Not a word. Whatever happened to a second chance? I offer a second chance...

They constantly reject post for violations of their "guidelines" while other post that cleary violate it get to stay. I flag the other post and nothing is done. Doublelist should be called doublestandard. Don't waste your time with them.
