I Was Blocked From Using Craigslist. And I Am Not Sure Why.

I had looked at an ad that was placed on Craigslist. And the person responding with the amount that they wanted for the item, I responded back by saying thanks for the info, but I cant afford your price. And now I seem to be blocked on my computer and on my sons computer because I used his computer while I was on their website. Could you please tell me how to fix this. Thank you

This is a common annoyance with Craigslist, and I'm sorry for your problems. (Note that we're an independent help site not connected with Craigslist.)

Craigslist says, "Posts may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, CL staff, or community moderation-for non-compliance with terms of use, site guidelines, and/or community norms." It's rarely if ever possible to pin down a specific cause.

You may be able to solve the issue with the use of a Web proxy, as offered free at http://www.zend2.com/. Fellow Help Owl volunteer smcclurken has additional suggestions here.
