A while back Cowboy_Ken encouraged us all to create TFO ads on craigslist in our local communities.
I liked the idea and created a pretty cute ad I included some fabulous photos from our members and it ran in the community- pet section with no problem for a few weeks. Maybe even months?
Well, today I was notified that my TFO ad was flagged for removal enough times to be deleted. So, I reposted it. It was deleted again within minutes. After some reading up I made some changes to the ad so it was completely within the Terms of Use. I made a new ad in the pet section and another one in the community- group section, since TFO is a group.
Both of the new ads were flagged and removed again. How sad, right?
Either someone in my local area really doesn't like TFO or ....I don't even know what.
Any thoughts??
Here was how my ad looked- since it was deleted you can no longer view it.

Don't have any tortoises but want to know more?

I thought maybe someone was upset that this ad was in the pet section and not offering a pet? So I included a line at the end that said

Well, it didn't work. The ad was still flagged enough to be deleted I'm bummed..
For the record, I did find out that at least 2 of our new members became so from seeing my ad on CL. That was the whole point, right? sheesh
