Algae Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Because a recent thread about the death of bin Laden went awry and ended up with hard feeling among some members I thought it an opportunity for me to do something positive out of this. So I posted this ad to give a little bit of help to American military serving in Afghanistan/Iraq. No politics were involved. Not too much, but I figured I could do something. http://eugene.craigslist.org/zip/2365557444.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algae Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I just got a email saying that my ad was flagged and removed without giving a reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 That's odd maybe you should post it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yes just repost it. Idiots will flag you all day long for no reason on CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The ad will be highly suspect and is probably being flagged because of people thinking it is a scam. Think about it. Your offering a free service that will put you inside someones home while they are away. Not knowing any better this would immediately send up a red flag to me. It means very little that those here know the intentions are good because we only represent a small fraction of those that will actually see the ad.

I was starting to think bad thoughts about my own politics. I wish that people could just see through the politics and see the human side and helping others. I reposted and made a statement about it. http://eugene.craigslist.org/zip/2366715270.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
