From there, I let it run, and the results were what's listed above - someone hitting the ad from the same IP over and over again was getting the ad flagged down. I'm not exactly sure how or why it worked for them, but it did work for them.  Yea, read the article, don’t just look at the pretty pictures – my assumption was that you would have to change IP’s in order to flag a post down on your own – after all that’s how all the script kiddies do it – they just write code to proxy hop, flag, and proxy hop again.

The IP attached to an email from one of those services will not be the same as the IP of the computer that did the flagging.  This is an effective method as long as the person in question isn’t using a web-based email service like Yahoo or Gmail.

Craigslist needs to become a thing of the past, facebook pages for selling stuff are popping up all over, and  http://www.ebayclassifieds.com/   is slowly become more widely used. Spreading the word about other popular websites to sell stuff is the best way to send a message to craigslist since obviously there is no one behind the wheel there. http://www.facebook.com/groups/288840164504654/ I too have continuously been flagged for even trying to sell rabbit manure.

It has gotten pretty popular and i would advise others to use it too. I have come up with the fact of not using CL and just making forums on FB instead.

The only "piece of shit" here is you. It's none of your business what he is willing to pay. If someone else is okay with his offer it's their problem. Don't flag people because you don't like their rates. I don't use CL for buying/selling often, but I use the casual dating and the musicians wanted sections regularly. I'm sick of seeing an ad I spent a considerable amount of time writing get taken off because some jealous shmuck didn't like what I have to offer to other people. It takes a coward to flag posts. If you have a problem with an ad, message the poster and confront them like you still have your nads attached. It’s people like you who ruin CL for the rest of us.
