...if you misrepresent your car. Lately I’ve been trolling craigslist hard for a Miata. The same idiot keeps putting up MR2's and stuffing the model field with Miata. I refresh every couple of damn hours so it’s not like it lasts. Lately, every time I see it, I just flag all this dude’s ads. Stop polluting my search, douche. Also, who the hell would cross-shop a Z4 with three 5 seat sedans?

I’m sick of seeing down/monthly payments listed as the price. Is there any reason I shouldn’t start flagging every damn one I see?

you can send an email to abuse@craigslist.org with a link to the ad and tell them it’s keyword spamming

You can also provide us a link to the ad, so that people in your area can flag it (out-of-area flags don’t count)

I talked to a guy on Craigslist who needed someone to do some drawings. I had noticed his add had been up for a long time. Like at least a month. I finally gave him a call and we talked for a while. He asked a bunch of questions and said he’d call me back so we could set up a time to meet. Never got a call the ad is still posting. I think hes just trying to do this all on his own and is draining all the people for information. Now I flag him.

I’m always searching for E36 M3s, and I’d say about 20 ads are actually M3s, the other 100 or so are any sort of shit because people put about 30 model names at the end of their ad and M3 always manages to be one of them.

And listings for $1.

it’s a dealer (they actually have to pay $5 per ad, which this place is paying)

less likely to get removed, but at least it’s easier to just search by-owner

But like I said, my falg doesn’t count since I’m not near SF

Maybe you’re supposed to buy a mid-engined car instead of a Miata?
