Flags are often imposed by other users (not Craigslist staff), and there can easily be no rational basis for flagging one post and not another. Sorry.

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.
