Craigslist will remove posts on the basis of user flags, even when the flags are without foundation. There isn't really anything you can do about it, except wiat until the post is again allowed.

Because the system is flawed, any person with or without an account can flag any ad they chose to with or without just cause, I recently had my ad flagged as well even though the ad was well within the terms of use, i feel the person flagging should prove who they are as well as giving a valid complaint of what terms were violated as well as verification of who they are so ads that do not violate will remain posted, This is only my opinion
