For the last several months, the Chicago area Craig's list has been bombarded by a couple of idiots flagging each others WTB pinball posts. I have an auto notification set up to let me know when new "pinball" ads pop up and it seems like I get at least a dozen a day and they are all BS. Today was the icing. One of the moron's decided to start mimicking the other guy's posts and I think there have been two dozen today alone. Ahh, the power of the internet.

Same issue here in Portland. Sadly these two people cause the rest of us legitimate people to get flagged as well. I believe the days of using RSS feeds and so forth are coming to a quick end.

Craigslist could discourage this activity and afford to police it if they charged even 25 cents per ad. Likewise, it would sharply cut down on all the scam ads, which are an even bigger problem.

Yep Chris....That's why I don't even try anymore looking for pins on Craigs....
 
I found myself in the middle of all that bullshit. I posted an ad last week looking to purchase another pin. My ad was flagged and some dickhead posted a phony copy of my ad!!! My ad was legit, posted according to the rules.

From what I'm told its the guy who posts want ads titled "WTB Pinball Machines" and "Wanted Dead or Alive", that is flagging everyone elses ads.
 
I went through 3 flagged wanted ads on CL. Gave up after that. I guess the other guy who was cross posting his ads in wanted and for sale couldn't stand the idea of someone else getting a pin.
 
Why exactly?

I didn't get a good capture of the ad I was talking about, but I did manage to grab this one. Made me chuckle.

It does suck for the legit guys as I post an ad a few times a year. I can understand where some people get mad with the same people posting the same wanted ad every other day. One of the guys up in Chicago post ads on St. louis Cl too looking for Gottlieb wedgeheads and there is another guy that posts wtb ads every few days named rick and then the guy with the same overpriced games in Arnold Mo. What's the purpose of a 30 day ad if your going to post every other day and then post it in several different sections? I flag em every time. I wish they would charge to sell on CL just to get rid of the Morons Here's a couple http://stlouis.craigslist.org/wan/1707770316.html http://stlouis.craigslist.org/clt/1709907933.html
