Uhm… ok… Its called you take a picture, save it with your iPhone, go to craigslist of your city, post your ad and select upload picture. Whala! No iTrash App needed! Yay! Why make it harder than you need to?
I SERIOUSLY THINK IF CRAIGSLIST IS CHARGING $5 TO POST YOU GUYS SHOULD REMOVE THE FLAGGING SYSTEM. IT’S RIDICULOUS THAT YOU PAY YOUR MONEY TO POST AND ANOTHER A-HOLE COMES, FLAGS YOUR POST (BECAUSE HE/SHE FEELS LIKE DOING IT) AND YOUR ACCOUNT GETS PUTS ON HOLD (WHICH MEANS IT’S BANNED FOREVER) THAT SUCKS MAN. WTF IT’S WROG WITH CRAIGSLIST. PLEASE USE A LITTLE BIT OF COMMON SENSE.
YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE A REPORT LINK INSTEAD SO ADMINISTRATIVE PEOPLE CAN MANUALLY DELETE THE POST.
WOW WOW WOW POLITICS W.T.F*** IS UP WITH THIS YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST CHARGE EVERYONE 5 DOLLARS TO POST AN AD ON CL THAT WAY YOU CAN EFFICIENTLY STOP THE HATING ASS BITCHES FROM FLAGGING ADS ON HERE. YOU EXPECT ESCORTS TO PAY TO POST ON A FREE SITE .I THINK ITS A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT JUST LIKE PROPISITION 8 IN CALIFORNIA . ITS DISCRIMINATION AND OUT RIGHT THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF BS. SURE YOU CAN SWIPE MY CARD RIGHT ACROSS YOUR ASS AND KISS THIS ONE GOODBYE!!!!!!
Would be so easy to have small business advertisements on craigslist for town section selections. Would revenue more cash flow for the system, plus revenue for the business`s. Sky`s the limit you own it.
I really think craigslist needs to have a more organized flagging system. A report post where users can flag and a craigslist ADMINISTRATOR should do the post blocking/deleting/reporting to the police at their discretion. Protecting against ad flagging programs/bots or mischievous gremlins who feel like flagging for sport. Other than that I feel that http://www.craigslist.com is the best thing that I ever came across and everyday I mention how easy, and useful it really is to everyone I know! THANKS CRAIG!
There should be an entirely different section for adult work/ads. It is a hard enough genre to get into, but it’s harder to advertise for clean work or find clean events. Need some way to get rid of the trash that obstructs my favorite business. Thanks and much love! I adore the site, always have. ^.^
CL does not hire flaggers. There are already thousands of them flagging for free, because the car is red, because the TV is too old or because they feel depressed. There is no need to have any common sense to flagg, but CL is hiring common sense people.
There is nothing you can do against flaggers. They are people with no job that are wasting time flagging on CL. It’s a hobby for them. I know one loser flagging from 9:00am to 5:00 except lunch time form 1:00pm to 2:00pm Monday to friday.(true story)
I would pay a small amount to run ads that can not be flagged. Of course they would be non spamming “appropriate” ads. I get flagged from people posting similar items for sale they use craigsflagger to do it. http://www.craigsflagger.com/ The flag help forum needs some TLC or for it just to be closed down the “volunteers” seem more like employees who belittle people and there ads. Some ads are not bad but they will tell you people don’t like it when you do anything they don’t like. The TOU is written in such a way that it makes all ads potentially bad and flaggable.
In short hire some one with the sense to do away with that flagging system.
It would only work in a perfect world. Unfortunately humans keep the world from being perfect.
Other than letting the monkeys run the monkey house I enjoy craigslist. You can hire me Craig, but I don’t think you would agree with my views since they differ from yours.
About your CEO….he needs to get over himself! All these green tree huggers think they are so much better than everyone else because they “don’t drive a car” or “drive a Prius.” Please….enough, go live in the mountains and throw your degree away. You bitch, bitch, bitch, but want money, money, money (which is OK) and look so stupid talking out both sides of your mouth. It’s like Al Gore bitching all the time, but takes private jets. All of you get over yourselves - enough is enough. We’re not impressed.
Instead of charging $5 per ad I think if they charged everyone a monthly fee of $5 therefore people can still remain anonamous when posting their ad which is one of the benefits of Craigs List
