So I did some reading around about Craigslist and how it "enforces" things, and it turns out that it's a fairly self-monitored place with some automated monitoring thrown in. And one of the things that the "community" doesn't like is bulleted lists, which my first-draft ad had in plenty. Last night, after seeing my first ad get flagged and, I guess, removed, I did my research, then immediately re-drafted the ad, but without bulleted lists this time. And as of this morning, the new ad is still up, so thank Cthulhu for small favors.
Meanwhile, over at Dave's ESL Cafe, there are no new job ads as of a few minutes ago. I'm currently drafting another Craigslist ad, this time for proofreading services.
Kind of a weird thing to fixate on, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteI said "community" above, but it could be the algorithm.
