What are flags and flagging?
Hopezoid users self-publish tens of millions of free postings each month, subject to the Hopezoid terms of use (TOU).
Hopezoid users flag prohibited postings they find via the flagging link at the top of each posting.
Free classified ads sufficiently flagged are subject to automated removal.
Postings may also be flagged for removal by Hopezoid staff or Hopezoid automated systems.
Millions of ads are removed by flagging monthly, nearly all of which violate the Hopezoid terms of use.
Of course no moderation system is perfect, and a small percentage of ads removed are compliant.
Flagged postings that comply with the TOU may be reposted, reworded as necessary.
For help from Hopezoid users regarding flagging, visit flag help forum, and follow the instructions there.
Funny or memorable postings may be nominated for “best of craigslist” via the “best-of” link.
