Those Craigslist photos

When you put a add in to sell you get a bunch of spam.

I must be doing something wrong. I never get spam. Never. What am I doing wrong? It's not fair!

Maybe because I'm not posting my email address in plain sight?

I have flagged that same add multiple times. It's still there.

Here's an ad for a Kubota L1720. The only picture included is for the serial number sticker - nothing showing the tractor itself.

Do most scams last that long before the listing gets deleted? Maybe it's a legit listing and it's really $15,000. As little info as the add contains I'd still guess it's a scam.

They want the listing to sound like a scam to normal people so just the very dumb will call them. It's the way the scammers filter their calls.

NO, its a scam.. ALL of the ones with a low price and an email listed as XXXX@gmail.com are a scam.. Every single one.

I strongly suspect that flagging doesn't do anything anymore. It's window dressing. I think CL has gone to a "we don't care as long as nobody hassles us" mode, and they allow people to "flag" just to shut them up.

Flagging just keeps you from seeing it.. You can 'unflag and restore' listings too..

It depends. If you click on the trash can next to the post in the search results list, yes it just hides it for you. If you open the ad and click "prohibited" it will actually report it as spam/junk.

Clicking 'prohibited' for me just hides it.. Click the red trash can looking icon and you'll see post that you clicked prohibited as simply being marked 'hidden'.

Who is it hidden from? Everyone?
