Flagged Ad

Keep getting flagged. Very quickly. I know that someone is not just stting around waiting for me to post this chevy van so they can flag it. What's the deal, and why are we seperated from craigs'list? They are a business and would seem to be obligated ethicly to provide some support, just to be cool. If not, what's with the peace logo? I guess I'm asking for accountability in todays world. How silly of me. Anybody have any answers?

It could be there's something about the way your post is written that looks fishy, and it's making people nervous.  I'd suggest you take a look at the scam info page on craigslist for some pointers:  http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams.

And there's always the possibility that somebody just wants to be a turd and thinks it would be funny to flag your posts.
