I paid for to post photographer model posting for hire like everyone around the United States is allowed to do yet the Post is held for review and then flagged/removed without ever going live online. The only response I get is an email asking to not post my model ad which is very unfair as there was nothing bad in my ad at all.

It’s probably for the best if this dinosaur of a website gets its plugs officially pulled. It’s more than clear that the company has no sort of organized and professional means of dealing with the foul play that takes place on its website day after day. This crap heap of a site needs to have a stake shoved into its heart and put to bed for good. They flag the posts of legitimate posters repeatedly while allowing others who use scripts and fake accounts to post get away with it, violating any and all rules. The leadership at the company clearly doesn’t give a living shιt about whether their flagging algorithm works as intended or not. This thing is dead and people should accept it and move on. The UI of the site looks like dog shιt anyway.

Two days ago I posted my car for sale on Craigslist. In a matter of 24 hours, I received a combination of 17 phone calls and emails from SCAMMERS. Not one legitimate reply was received. PLEASE be cautious when using Craigslist. The scammers are becoming more sophisticated in their attempts to secure your funds. Unfortunately I will no longer be utilizing Craigslist for future services.

Constant flagging of legitimate posts. Their search is now useless do to all the aholes that use thousands of tag words.

Craigslist keeps flagging my ads. There is nothing inappropriate in the ad.
I post separate ads for cleaning and modeling. I am not seeking any inappropriate behavior.
The email from Craigslist tells me not to use the site for this type of ad.
However, there are several ads openly seeking inappropriate behavior:
Wood worker
Plumber
Pitch and catch
Ads that state nudity, naked or sex
Selling nude photos
There are also people who post up to 20 ads in the same category and other categories. Craigslist tells you to limit how many postings and categories you are allowed. But it's not being enforced. It also makes it difficult to find the legitimate ads.
Craigslist has become a waste of time.

Flaggers who otherwise furiously remove any ad within hours seem to freeze when faced with Gay content. Its bizarre. Every section is full of gay ads lasting WEEKS sometimes even MONTHS without getting removed. But the moment you make it clear you’re a male for female you’re lucky if your lasts more than a few hours. This proves many flaggers must either be gay or feminists or a mix of the two.

Secondly people who spam post the same ad multiple times never get flagged either. Its like flaggers get too tired to remove these ads so they leave them alone. WTH

I was trying to post a free dog on Craigslist listed all the things about the dog and everything like that and then Craigslist removed it and don't explain why they do it so I unsubscribed Craigslist app and I will never use them again and won't recommend them to nobody.

The replies received from HelpfulHedda in the help desk forum are invective.

Is she the one who is flagging ?
NO Excuses

Leeds Craigslist is absolutely rubbish. Been trying to find Home Care on there. Flagged before it’s even published. Site is absolutely empty. Won’t allow anything on. Flags everything. May as well pack up the site. Totally a waste of time. They should stop this silly flagging thing.

Theft they take people's money and ban them for no reason after following all there guidelines.

Got Scammed. This website is basically you gambling your money because some things are legit but most are just scams. My family lost $500 bucks from this site. DO NOT USE!

This Landscaper (Mike St. Clair dba All Saints LLC on Craigslist) came out to do a pool preparation on my property on Saturday May 14, 2022 for the amount of $1500, He started the project knowing the ground was soft and soaked from all the rain we had. He tore up the area surrounding the site. He dug out area of the pool and came to a very soggy wet area of the site. He then put down a "Filler Sand" which is NOT for a pool. He assured me he would bring in a good quality sand. This sand has 1/2 to 1 inch pebbles and we found broken glass. This contractor has on his Craig's list website he would not charge until the job was complete and 100% satisfaction. Since the area was too muddy he said he would return but wanted an additional $800 to clean up the ruts he made and would not replace the sand unless I paid him extra. He even said at one point just before he left he would not even charge me for that day until he was done! 10 minutes later he is asking for $1500 in CASH! I reminded him of what he just said to me and he threw a fit. I went in and handed him $500 CASH and a $1000 check. He said he would return when it dries up. The following day we found glass in the sand and told him. He said it's ok, we will be buring it. I decided to stop payment on the $1000 check and sent him an e-mail I wanted the sand replaced, and the yard to be brought back to original. He was furious. Said I was trying to rip him off. Saying he would file a lein. Then told me to never contact him again! Today I received several text telling me he should come out and fill area in, and he hoped my pool sank. Called my GF and I "Trailer Trash" Not a very professional attitude! I did have another landscaper out and he felt the sand was definitely not sand for a pool bottom and agreed pool wall supports needed to be on firm ground which Sinclair said no, he could fill in with sand! All I wanted from this guy was to remove bad sand put in mason sand and repair damage to my yard!

I will keep this sweet and short. I would never recommend anyone looking for caregivers on craigslist. It is a awful place to try to find quality people anymore. I have wasted money. Altogether, I posted 4 times and did not get one good Candidate. If you're looking for a pickup it's more of a Multi purpose site. People think it's a scam when you post a job.

An oldie, but a goodie. How are there this many bad reviews, its a free website... this is why we can't have nice things people. Craigslist is a timeless gem, an internet classic, and the internet wouldn't be the same without it.

I posted ads providing cleaning and cooking services. I also posted ads to model for artists.
The ads have been flagged but didn't mention anything inappropriate in the ads.
But they allow certain ads to stay that are clearly indicating sexual encounters.
Some people are able to post a ton of ads in the same category. You probably miss the legit ads surrounded by a ton of the same ad.

Now that Carvana has started posting on craigslist, it's essentially a subsidiary of Carvana. The posts are 80% Carvana and the vast majority of those cars are already sold.

They just need to remove the Private Seller category because it's all thrift store dealers and businesses posting in there anywhere. They are just posting as many times and every day when they want to anyway. Pet sales in every category, there are no rules.

I'm angry. Craigslist has become bias. I can't post it been 2 years now the email claims my account been on hold all this time. I just need to know why and remind them this is America not 1930 Germany. I want to be unlocked so I can post without people being butthurt

u dont want to trust Craig's list alot of scammers on there people which like to screw with other people also I wouldn't recommend this site for anyone. your better of going to a store or online but definitely not this site. for anything.
