Some great ones there today – thanks Jodee!
Math gigs two days in a row?! Jodee is on a roll!
@ Fiona: You’re welcome!
@ Theresa: Glad you found something interesting!
Most of these were flagged by the time I got to them at 11 a.m., highly frustrating. But thanks so much for trying, Jodee!
Hi guys–I keep noting a large amount of positions I want to write to are flagged for removal. I am wondering if these are valid–is there something we can do to ensure craigslist investigates postings prior to removal (or see when and if they are removed?)
I notice the sex-toy company requires that the writer go to weekly meetings. I wonder if that’s for show and tell?
Yeah, I had the same experience as Hayli. Most of them had been flagged by the time I got here. This is really frustrating.
“I notice the sex-toy company requires that the writer go to weekly meetings. I wonder if that’s for show and tell?”
LOL!
Is some flagging these or what? Why are there always so many flags?
At Marijke – funny! If I lived closer to NJ I’d apply. Sounds like fun.
I didn’t see the ad for the sex-toy company, that got flagged too…they probably shouldn’t have posted there were weekly meetings. LOL
@ Violette: They also offer discounts to staff on their merchandise…;)
Everything I went in to look at was flagged… Only one was still online.
Man–I seriously think someone is going crazy with he flagging! How can we put a stop to this before ALL positions are flagged?
*you know, do you ever feel as if you are invisible in the room????*
@ Ann G – this is becoming so frustrating. I didn’t see anything this morning that “deserved” to be flagged. Pretty soon, I won’t even bother checking Craigslist at all, which I’m sure is what someone out there wants so they can keep the prospects to themselves.
I agree with you Fiona–there has to be a way to stop that kind of thing from happening –Craigslist has been a viable resource and landed quite a few jobs for me…
I found another posting for the sex toy site:

Now see, I accidently read massage instead of message, LOL. Thanks Jodee.
Alicia, I feel invisible all the time. It is usually when I’m talking to kids.
P.S.
I really think this is why they get flagged, they posted to more than one craigslist. Do they have a program doing checks across the craigslists to look for duplicates.
@ Violette: I often see the same (or a similar) ad posted on different parts of Craigslist and they aren’t flagged.
I found this interesting…Mr. or Ms. Sex Toy Site, as the case may be, reposted the ad and asked why they got flagged, since it was a legitimate job?
