Flagging has made the site unusable Flagging mechanism is grossly abused with no way to review, correct or appeal. Legitimate ads are taken down in minutes or a few hours at the most with no warning just because someone can click 'flag' at the top of the page. This not only makes the site unusable to sell or promote anything, but also severely limits the pool of legitimate offers which might be of interest to buyers.

Craigslist in the Austin area ROCKS! Not sure why so many people are down on CL, especially in the Austin TX area. I have always had spectacular results selling my stuff on CL. Yes, there are the occasional deadbeats who try to low ball, or who don't show up, and the occasional scammer (who are easy to recognize). But that happens on any board. I love CL.

Poorly run company. Awful. They flag and remove legitimate postings constantly, thousands by the day, because their AI program is so stupid. Plus, they have thousands of loser trolls low-lifes online all day flagging ads that don't violate anything. These absolute scum of the Earth sit at home all day flagging whatever suits them, whatever they don't like, even if it doesn't violate TOS. Stupid company, stupid site, just pure cancer. Avoid.
