#3 Consumer Comment
I don't know why they deleted my ad.
AUTHOR: Licensed Locksmith - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 03, 2013
No, I have not contacted anyone at craigslist. I don't think I did nothing wrong. I listed my prices, my CCB number with my Oregon Locksmith number with links to the CCB web site so people looking at my ad could check on me or someone else to see if they are a real licensed locksmith in Oregon.
My ad was "Flagged", maybe by my competitors.
========================
Oregon needs to change their Locksmith Law.

They don't give reasons for deleting ads...

He can't ask craigslist why they removed his ad. It just says the most common reason for removal is flagging by website visitors. Have you ever tried to ask why your ad was removed? I have. I get postings removed all the time for no apparent reason. I for one am glad this guy posted about locksmiths, because that is a SCARY thing!
#1 General Comment
So why did they remove your Add?
AUTHOR: Bubba Lee - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, January 02, 2013
Please tell us why your Advertisement was removed, I know they will tell you if asked.
I bet someone complained.
Common for flybynight operators to try to harm the competition by posting fake complaints.
Advertisers above have met our
strict standards for business conduct.
