Craigslist posts keep getting flagged...why??
 
Trying to sell one of my Dads cars and the post keeps getting flagged.

Every day I log in and the same thing...flagged for removal
I don't understand why. I don't have any wrong information or anything inappropriate.

Have a picture posted with the kms.

Could it be someone has nothing better to do but flag his car?

Thoughts?

I've had the same issues before. I've just assumed it was a loser who didn't like my ad or didn't want the competition and flagged it a bunch

Some fagggot is disgruntled, they have the same car but are asking a much higher price and are worried they will be more interested in yours rather than theirs, my guess anyways..

Do you have more than one of the identical listing? Has it been placed in the correct category? Have you added unnecessary keywords in the body?

brrrz 02-05-2015 12:41 PM

Brutal! So I'm guessing there is no way to stop this

This. I always flag ads that do that type of thing, it's the most annoying part of CL... You are selling a Civic, no need to tag "JDM GSR B18 B16 B20 SIR TYPE-R MUGEN SPOON ACURA BMW MERCEDES TOYOTA PORSCHE FERRARI SUBARU WRX STI LIFTED DIESEL F150 F250 F350". Not saying it's you personally but this is 99.9% why I flag an ad.

There is only one post. Its in the for sale by owner thread and there are zero key words. Only information on the car

This.


Some people just don't have anything better to do.

i dont even know why they allow regular user to be able to flag a post, should be the admins job.

Dragon-88 02-05-2015 01:18 PM

Maybe someone really wants your car, and doesn't want anyone else to jump on the deal..

Well what if he is using that as the location on CL as well?

:lawl:

Disgruntled douche. Flaggers gonna flag.

fliptuner 02-06-2015 08:19 AM

Post the link.

We can tell you why it's being flagged or someone here might buy it.

swfk 02-06-2015 08:35 AM

I had a friend selling a JDM car on CL and we suspected this JDM dealer kept flagging the ad *ahem* and it was just so annoying. There's nothing you can really do except post elsewhere like Auto Trader

brrrz 02-06-2015 09:40 AM

See how long this lasts...its the 8th post now

2011 Chevrolet Camaro RS

Godzira 02-06-2015 09:45 AM

'never abused' :fullofwin: :mamoru:


I kid I kid, hopefully it doesn't get flagged.

fliptuner 02-06-2015 10:01 AM

IMO, stick to the particulars and post a few more pics.

No one cares about his other cars, where he lives and getting thumbsups.

Post the drivetrain details (you don't mention if it's auto or manual), accident history, "loaded?" - list the highlights, if it has maintenance records, how long it was owned for. Also, highlight that it's been well taken care of and what new(er) parts it has.

This is actually getting ridiculous now. 8th post in 6 days all been flagged within that day.

Im going to do a CL search for the same cars going for the same price and narrow it down. Figure out who this is.

fliptuner 02-06-2015 11:48 AM

WTF. Someone's got it out for you.

Jgresch 02-06-2015 12:54 PM

Create a new account and post from that one. If you get flagged a couple times on one account it takes less people flagging to bring it down again, especially if a lot of the wording/title is the same.

Flag everyone with that car.
