CraigsList sabotage!?

Somebody has been deleting my CraigsList posts. I don't know if they're targeting one person (me) or just trying to mess up Craig. It's impossible to get a message to a real live person at CL... and it's very frustrating on both counts. I have hundreds of listings, and it's frustrating, time consuming, and costing me money.

Any suggestions?

    See if they are aimed at your username. Try posting a similar post using a different account.

    There are bots out there that will log onto 50+ different accounts and mark your post as abuse. It might be a competitor doing this to you.

    If your post still gets flagged, then they might be targeting some key words on your headline. Try changing the headline to something completely different. (every word must be different)

    If you still get flagged, make sure you aren't posting in the wrong section.
