Getting My Posts Flagged, Not Because Of Site Compliance, But From Competitors

I want to know if I pay for ads if a person reviews a flag or it the computer program just deletes it? In other words if its flagged for no good reason why cant a person see this and deny the flag?

I hope you know that we're an independent help site not connected with Craigslist. It does definitely appear to be a computer program without human intervention that blocks folks on account of flags. Regarding the reason, I'm sure it's a matter of cost. Human assistance is hugely more costly than automatic actions. As you're probably aware, Craigslist has a gigantic user base. Its staff however is tiny.

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

If you want to offer your views to Craigslist, there's a "contact us" link (https://losangeles.craigslist.org/contact), but don't count on any response or action.
