I Keep Getting Error Messages That My Ip Address Has Been Blocked.

The error messages that my IP address is blocked. Apparently I'm not the only one that has the same issues. I have emailed Craigslist for 4 days. I received one reply from them earlier and all there was in it was the links that I already either tried it or could not access them because they all link to Craigslist. Can someone help me please?

The previous answer is most likely incorrect. The reason is that (1) Craigslist does regularly block IP addresses of many users, and (2) appeals to Craigslist will get you noplace. (These appeals are not answered.) Craigslist states:

Posts may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, CL staff, or community moderation -- for non-compliance with terms of use, site guidelines, and/or community norms.


It's possible of course that you may have violated Craigslist's terms of use; you may want to review them by following the link above. But Craigslist will impose its penalties simply on account of too many flags--and anybody can flag your post, for any or no reason.

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

As indicated above, it's very unlikely that there's a problem with your computer. If you want however to investigate that possibility, see http://bit.ly/2vDpMQ8.
