@ 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?

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.

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.

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…

@ 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.

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????*

Everything I went in to look at was flagged… Only one was still online.

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
