Craigslist Sucks!
Guys - there are numerous websites that offer a bunch of different spamming aids or softwares.
The site may be free to post on, but it's popularity -- clicks, visitors, traffic -- is worth big freaking bucks for people who make a living that way. CL is a godsend for someone looking for traffic. The word Affiliate ring a bell? Lots of people make Lots of money that way. They are the ones CL refers to as spammers. Only this obviously isn't a Vancouver problem, it's all over. The whole phone verification pain in the ass wasn't only applied to postings made in the erotic services section, in other (US) cities, it was subsequently also applied to other 'competitive' sections. Also, there are some sections in certain cities that are not free to post in btw. The idea behind offering a 'posting service' is that for these marketers, the volume of daily postings is more in the 100's and in numerous cities.. and that's where it gets a little more complicated than say, 1-2 ads in the erotic services section of the Vancouver page.
There are so many 'spammers' (marketers) who make a living (a lot of money) that every time CL comes up with a new way to stop them, someone figures a way around it and makes a killing off of it. I tried to find out if there was any way around the stupid new phone authentication requirements for accounts used for posting in the erotic services section and came across a bunch of sites. Well whoever figured out a way around it isn't saying how or saying where he's finding all the numbers, but instead now making a
killing selling accounts at $5 + a pop!
I guess now we know how some manage to post the same ads 10x a day.
Just one example...

Basically, every time CL adds something to stop 'spammers', someone else benefits (and profits BIG TIME) from it because these 'spammers' are marketers who have a lot at stake and aren't about to go anywhere. (The only thing is that as CL catches on to some of the 'tricks', a lot of what these sites sell becomes obsolete rather quickly, making it necessary to constantly buy some new software or as they are doing now, phone verified accounts.) But while these websites must be making a mint, it penalizes everyone else who hasn't dropped a couple hundreds on some verified accounts because they probably don't know about it, as I don't think the average sp posting on CL (yes, there are exceptions) is necessarily super computer/internet savvy or necessarily has any interest in spending time looking for something like this. Well, I guess I just did it for you, didn't I?
The flagging mystery's uncovered, ladies..
no, it wasn't someone sitting at a computer for hours flagging each posting multiple times, nor was it an evil gang of flaggers..... all it was was one person (or more) pressing a button or two and just letting the software do its magic. Only, once it became possible to BUY hundreds of accounts, I bet flagging didn't become all that important. Who needs to flag their competition when they now have they ability to post 10-20x ++ more than their competition!? Hmmm. Bastards!
Now if you're going to go this route - which I personally think is kinda pathetic - but if you are, don't pay some gumba many times what you need to, and do it yourself.
Watch the chaos on CL now! lol The way I see it though, is that at least now there might be more than 1 group mass spamming, um, i mean posting and might level the playing field a little... or if we're lucky, kill it altogether.
So go ahead kids! Greeds the word!
And there you have it kids, if you look hard enough.. you can find anything on the World Wide Web.
For the record, before anyone asks -- I haven't bought any of the softwares or verified accounts, nor do I plan to. And that is because..... Yes, I think it's pretty pathetic but also..... Didn't you know, people??.............
CRAIGSLIST SUCKS! Too bad everyone's hooked, huh?
