Can't Find My Post On Craiglist. Posted It Y/d. It Appeared Y/d. Not Today. Why?

After posting the adv. Craiglist sent me an email w/ instructions on how to complete the submission. I followed the instructions to the "T". They gave me a link w/ the Posting ID. When I clicked it I was sent to my post. I also followed up a half hour later and was able to find it via going thru Craigslist homepage filter. The next morning the post dissappeared. I know the post are listed chronologically and I did ck for my post on the correct day. What gives? It dissappeared into no mans land.

IT WAS PROBABLY FLAGED try to access it through the e-mail or through your account if you have one

craigslist users enjoy free and nearly instantaneous self-publishing of tens of millions of postings each month, subject only to craigslist Terms of Use and posting guidelines.

Users may flag postings they believe to be in violation of craigslist guidelines, by clicking on one of the flagging links at the upper right corner of each posting:

miscategorized - wrong category/site, discusses another ad, otherwise misplaced
prohibited - violates craigslist Terms of Use or other posted guidelines
spam/overpost - posted too frequently, in multiple cities/categories, or is too commercial

Free classified ads receiving a sufficient number of qualified negative flags are subject to automated removal.

Forums postings and paid classified ads receiving a sufficient number of qualified negative flags are subject to further review.

Ads pre-screened by craigslist believed to be in violation of the Terms of Use or posting guidelines may be forwarded to [email protected].

Funny or memorable postings may also be flagged, for inclusion in "best of craigslist".

Millions of ads are removed through flagging each month, of which the vast majority are in violation of craigslist terms of use or posting guidelines.

No moderation system is perfect, and a small percentage of ads removed through flagging are compliant.

Flagged postings that meet craigslist guidelines and Terms of Use may be reposted, reworded as necessary.

For help as to why your ad may have been flagged, visit our flag help forum and provide detailed information about your posting to the forum participants.
