Cannot Post Ads In Men Seeking Men

I've been trying to post an ad in Men Seeking Men on Craigslist for a week now. However, I keep on getting routed to Casual Encounters (I don't even get the option of Men Seeking Men when I try to create a posting). Do you know what's wrong?

They have changed up the posting options a bit. You need to select "dating, romance, long term relationship (ltr)" instead of "sex with no strings attached (nsa)". This will get your posting in Men Seeking Men. Not sure what the pourpose of this was, but thats how it is now...

Thing changed a while back. M4M is now a subset of ROMANCE for POSTING, even though you LOOK at it as a subset of all Personals. They don't match.

johnsonshaun is right:

In the query process you must choose "dating, romance (ltr)" instead of "casual hookup (nsa)". This will direct your ad to "men seeking men" instead of "casual encounters". This is wrong for Craigslist to do this because most "men seeking men" ads ARE for NSA Casual Hookups.
