How Long Is A Person Blocked From Posting In The Free Classifieds Listings?
One week ago I attempted to post a wanted ad for a particular breed of dog in another CL region 2 hours away that I visit frequently. I had never done this before and have now been blocked from posting any new ads in the free classifieds listings. I have sent feedback to CL customer service (which is a joke) every day this week, telling them I appreciate being able to use their website and asking how long the block will be placed on my account. I have also surfed the user forum and help pages and have yet to come up w/clear guidance. Has anyone experienced this?

Yes; it's all too common. These blocks may go away after few days, but there's no certainty.
Craigslist states:
Postings may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, craigslist staff, or community moderation, for reasons including failure to comply with terms of use, posting guidelines, and/or community norms.
For more details, see the full Craigslist page.
