Craigslist posts being flagged to delete!!!

[Shawnee McGee]

I am wondering if anyone else is having trouble getting a Craigslist post to remain "unflagged"? I have submitted several posts (each flagged for removal each barely after I'm done submitting the post) removed before I barely submit them. I am submitting them for the Sacramento area and having them flagged (seems automatically) for removal almost immediately. This tells me CL has them set to be removed automatically based on keywords within in either the subject line or in the body of the ad. I was wondering if anyone else either in my area or any other has been having the same issue. It's been sometime since we've submitted these ads so I don't know if this has been happening for others for sometime or if this is something new from

 Not necessarily CL doing the flagging. Some real estate agents will flag FSBOs to keep them off of CL so they can contact the seller to try to get the listing. They will just sit in their underwear in the basement of their mom & dad's house watching for new listings of a particular type. Pretty pathetic. 

Things that typically get flagged are using $1 or something like that for a price, posting to the wrong category or location, having an "out side link" in the ad, using words like "zero down", "rent to own", bankruptcy, "No credit needed" and whatever else.

I find that if I post an ad that is having a problem staying posted, that if I change whatever it is that might be "questionable" then come back in twenty minutes and update the ad to whatever I really wanted it to be it will have passed by and be buried far enough that it doesn't get flagged. I always have about 10 blank lines under the last line in the ad and then put the seo words below that so they don't show on the screen. 

Sometimes you just have to wait a couple of hours until whoever is doing the flagging gets bored and goes to play XBox instead.
