    How to use cragslist and not get flagged?

    How are you using craigslist and not getting post flagged? It seems like all of mine are flagged in 10min. I see you guys are always talking about using it and it works great..

    One way is by posting in the "Small Biz" section.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    one of the best ways is to follow all the rules, but even those can get flagged. I found the flags are more predominant too in the late evenings and nights, when lots of people are drunk, making daytime postings more advisable

    What ever you do, don't post under the free section stating that your willing to take someone stuff off there hands (like old computers for nothing) That will get you post deleted in a hurry. A post like that should be posted under the services section where under businesses post, even if you don't have a business per say. Your are providing a service
