Any of the low price adds that have an atgmail listed are spam. They have been all over the place lately. Craigslist also has an auto flag feature that will start removing adds that people post in multiple cities. I had to get 3 different email accounts just to put a wanted add it 3 different cities because CL was deleting all of them. Then I see people post in 10 cities and they get away with it. No idea why some of this is happening.
Quoted from PMcGee:I search Craigslist a couple of times a day for local pinball machines for sale. Don't we all? We usually have 2-3, sometimes more, new listings a day on top of 10-20 stale ads that just kind of hang around for a while. For the last week or so, pickings have been slim to none. Not even any stale ads. Puzzling.
Just for grins, I checked Search Tempest, and it showed many pins were listed today that do not show up on the local Craigslist. I saw (at) gmail ads were on Dallas and Austin today, so it could be that some of these that don't appear were posted by that brain trust and rightfully flagged as spam. Since I never got to see them, I don't know for sure. I fear a cereal flagger is amongst us. I say cereal because it seems someone whizzed in his cheerios.

When I clicked on these links, except for a couple of the newer ones, I got the old "this ad has been flagged" message. Zip - what the flip? Even the machines wanted ads are being flagged.
Houston Pinsiders - let's root out this rogue and tell him he needs to play nice or we are going to tell his Mama. Just ain't right. I hope that he is just out of "the home" for the weekend and will go back to making potholders on Tuesday.
Not for nothing, but I think it's futile to even post this here. Pretty safe bet that the flagger isn't a pinsider, and CL flag submissions are anonymous.
