Miriam123 (OP) User ID: 1249846 United States 01/30/2011 07:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'd be happy with any advice that worked. The CL forum told me to add a physical description. I did. I still got flagged and removed. Another woman was told not to have a list in her ad. This stuff had nothing to do with any TOS violations. And it did not work (at least in my case). |

FatalWishes User ID: 626707 United States 01/30/2011 07:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I post a W4M personals ad no more than once a month or so. Inoffensive ad, nice pic. I quickly get flagged and deleted. I ask CL forum for advice, get snarky advice (nothing to do with any violations), advice doesn't work. Quoting: Mimi 1249846I have heard (on this board) that is is specifically a problem in W4M personals, especially the sincere (non erotic, non adulterous) ones. Perhaps because guys that don't fit the ad parameters get mad and hit the flag button. What steps can I take to reduce the chance of this happening? Here are some ideas that I am kicking around: 1) use a different computer each time (like in a library) 2) make a new account with a new email each time 3) log onto a new internet provider (like in a coffee shop) 4) unplug modem each time (mine is a wireless modem 5) delete internet history and cookies (?) Any comments on the above ideas? Any other ideas? Because of its size, CL is still the best way to post to meet new people - I'd hate to have to give up on that. Thanks alot! I just clicked the "Report Abusive post" link. Sorry..couldn't help it. They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out. |

Miriam123 (OP) User ID: 1249846 United States 01/30/2011 07:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not a spammer or a scammer. Decent-looking (maybe I'll try next time with no image posted). Not marketing anything. CL happens to be a good way to meet new people, better than match or eharmony. Just don't like getting flagged. Like I said, I hear its a common problem with legit women on W4M ads - the spammers and scammers have less problems. |
