Craigslist Job Ads For Wrong City

I'm looking for a job in Columbia MIssouri. Many of the job postings on that page are for Columbia South Carolina. Is this a craigslist bug in filtering posts, or a user error when the user posts the ad?

It could be either. Craigslist wants local ads only, so if you're viewing a Missouri Craigslist, the ads should be for Missouri--but you can't count on it. If you think it's a flaw in Craigslist's processing, you might want to bring it to Craigslist's attention. Various feedback and other contact options are provided at http://sfbay.craigslist.org/contact.
