    Wow.. Someone Flagged my "Wanted Ad" on CL

    Here is a first for me. Got an email stating my ad in the Wanted section of CL was flagged and removed.
    Normal Ad.. Offering to buy e-waste.

    Love how CL doesn't tell you why they removed it!! All seem to adhere to the TOU.

    Maybe someone in my area is scared I'll clean up!
    No worries.. apparently some people have to play dirty to win! If ya got to cheat to beat me.. I'll find plenty of other ways to win!

    I'll adapt and overcome!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Just repost it

    There was a week a couple years ago that someone would flag my ad and have it removed within 10 MIN's
    I had spare time one day so I was reposting as fast as they were flagging

    Cut & Paste >> A Beautiful thing!

    I did just that! Not doing anything wrong in the ad. Think someone out there is just a wuss and can't handle competition!

    Yeah it's daily for me as well , my competition has over 2k a month in overhead so I guess they don't want me to get anything . Just wait till they start bashing you in their ads and then calling to see what you've got . It's funny how dumb people think we are . I'm not a genius by any stretch . But I can put 2 and 2 together . Hope you blow them out of the water !

    Nice John!
    Metal: Yup.. The honest, hard working man will prevail!
    I got better things to do with my time than be a pansie and flag peoples ads. I figure "who cares if someone calls me over you or vice versa" Plenty of fish to shoot in the bucket.. only makes them look as pathetic as they really are!

    I tell people all the time "If you and I go head to head and play fair.. I'll win every time!"

    I myself don't care what or where you post, but technically you're offering a service.

    https://www.craigslist.org/about/help/services

    I have posted in the general and services. Don't recall getting flagged under services, but I also don't think it gets much traffic.

    Idaho.. True
    I'm not sure why when people post "Will pay cash for video games" or "We BUY Your Extra Test Strips!" they aren't getting flagged.
    Same type deal right?

    I've had a good streak going for a while but last week a post for a large wheeled bin that dumps got flagged/deleted...didn't even get an email saying it was deleted. Weird got weirder when I was able to re-post, but it would never go live before being deleted again. Set up a whole new account with the same results. Other things I have posted since then have been fine. WTF...over.

    That was my philosophy too! Heck anytime I have something I want to sell.. the first place I go is the "Wanted" section and search for it. Maybe some dude put up an ad looking for a pair of recovery hooks off a Blazer.. and then ding.. Find one and give the guy a call.

    Let me guess the coward sent it using an anonymous craiglist address? What a dope. People like that should have their isp cut off. Report it to cl and maybe they can track it back to the jerks ip address.

    If they were stupid enough to use their own email, post it here and we can have some fun
