I also have this problem. Apparently, Craiglist encourages visitors applied multiple accounts to post their advertisement. In the end, those spam companies would create huge amount of accounts to spread the ads.

I wonder what’s Craiglist’s next steps? close the registration?

My account has exceeded as well. I believe what happens is that the first posting of the 180 days stored needs to expire before we can report.

I think Craigslist does a great job. Let the machines handle the humans, at least that way it is fair for everyone.

I had the same issue. The forum I was posting to is filled with spam and yet I cannot post more one ad every few days. It seems their anti-spam measures are actually causing MORE spam!

Their volunteer posters on the help/feedback/flag forums are often quite rude to people even with valid questions. They tell you it’s a free site and if you don’t like what goes on there, don’t visit it.

Craigslist is a useful and fun site, but has several problems that need to be addressed. This is a monster that’s grown too big for their admin to control; therefore, they do nothing. I’d say the site will eventually collapse if they continue with their “hands off” and “right to free speech” attitude. Personally, I’d be glad to subscribe if the funds would be used to hire people to delete spam ads or more effort put into quality control and customer service.

I ma getting so sick of craigslist. They need to provide some sort of customer service and a better way to handle this kind of error.
