Craigslist Flagging Facts

Bookmark It:    

I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately about the Craigslist flagging system. It appears flag gangs have formed in some regions and are targeting specific commercial dealers. Sadly this can often be a competitor who wants to annoy someone until they give up on advertising.

Since the flagging system is a bit mysterious and Craigslist doesn’t openly say how many flags it takes to get deleted, it’s hard to find definitive information. However, I did come across a great website which breaks down the flagging process, why it may be happening and how to combat it: http://www.eskimo.com/~newowl/Flagged_FAQ.htm
