:mad So Last Night on Craigslist...

I am reading through their ads and I see that there is this poster who apparently comments on everyone's ad when he thinks it is over priced. Handle is something like Way Overpriced!!!!

I am like wow. I had never saw that before. I had saw people who use the hookers and post comments that they brought some dude with them, or they were actually a massage person, not whore and such in that section. It was kinda amusing as it was always the same guy.

However, reading through the flag forum I see now the CL vigilantes now community flag ads they think are asking too much, paying too little, or sound fishy, among countless other petty bullshit.

Kinda sad really. But some of the people in that flagging forum take this shit seriously. Almost like they are getting paid to flag people.

So I run a quick search to see if it is just my state, or if it is a more common practice. I run across this little diddy....

The Problem: You post an ad on Craigslist to sell a legitimate product or service, but ?the community? flags your ad as being ?inappropriate? or ?prohibited.? Why do they flag these ads, if they are legitimate ads, you ask? Good question. Turns out that a lot of people are of the opinion that all goods should be sold at or below cost.
