Hi, I'm Jim and I'm a craigslist-aholic.
I surf CL throughout the day searching for 'ducati'. I guess that makes all of us a little sick, I know.
Anyway, I'm getting more bogus hits recently due to MF'ers using "keywords" and dropping every popular motorcycle mfg and model in their list (which of course includes Ducati). There's even an SOB who has keyword 'ducati' on his 1991 BMW 850 car.
Anyone else care to join me in flagging these SOB's who are using keyword ducati on things that clearly AREN'T Ducati related? How can I continue to get my fix on free ducati-pr0n on the interweb with so much spam?!?!
Down with the anarchy! Let the Hooligans reign!
(now, I need to be careful getting down off this soapbox. can anyone give me a hand?)

Damn right! now where's my pitchfork?
Lemmee just preface this post by saying "Yes, I've been drinking."
I just got off the phone with the BMW 850 dude. I found an iphone app that spoofs your caller ID to whatever you want it to show so I found the number of "The Center Serving Persons With Mental Retardation" and dialed him from that number. The guy was hammered and the conversation didn't go too far before I got to the point and asked him why the ef he chose to include irrelevant keywords. He said he'd been getting a lot of flags for that but he did it because a lot of people looking for "high-end" stuff had never driven an 850 and that they needed to consider it. As he was trying to sell me on the merits of buying his POS, I cut him off by thanking him for his time but that I was really looking for a Ducati.
If anyone want's to give him a call, it's 682-225-2064
BTW, he wants $12,000 and it's got 182,000 miles.

ummm.... care to enlighten us why you might be searching for deals on Ducatis... hmmm??? 8)
"Hi, Jim!"
This sort of nonsense ticks me off, too. Posters like that should be flagged into oblivion.

You have just officially boggled my mind.
I'm on it now...
Are we flagging with "prohibited" or "spam/overpost"?
We need consistancy!

I went with "spam/overpost"
I feel "spamed" when Im looking for Duc stuff and some idiot says "But I've got this really nice umbrella to sell you..."
To me, SPAM.
Spam it is...

Thanks guys! I feel soooo much better now. ;)
By the way, just do a search for
keywords ducati
And start flagging as spam. [leo]

Does he have an email address? Maybe we can start a group-Nigerian offer scam for his BMW. [laugh]

I'm flagging everything not strictly Ducati.
Anyone else?
Is it working??

Ooooh, someone's been busy flagging.... Nice job [thumbsup]
Keep flagging people!!!

Every day... Goofball with the GSXR keeps relisting it. [bang]
I've given up on CL... all the chicks wanting to hook up for some NSA fun are fake or fat...
and i've been trying to sell my zx7r for months now and i'm flagged every time for no reason...
We're only flagging people who use "Ducati" as a tag word for non-Ducati stuff... :P
That's just not right. That's like putting "free sex" in your ad when you are just trying to sell a lawnmower. Hmmm... need to remember that when I sell the mower. [thumbsup]

Ron, don't be silly... of course the asses are stanky!

"Please do not flag. This is a real post. Every time it gets flagged, I just derby, which moves it right back to the top of the list."
As if we have anything better to do. I bet it takes fewer clicks to flag his ad than it does for him to derby it. [cheeky]

I was kind enough to send him an email giving him a hint at why his post kept getting flagged and the futility of his efforts. [coffee]
are you talking about that blue suzuki that i keep seeing? i flag him every time...
"mentioning" that you're going to get a ducati as your next bike is fine....but putting "key words" at the bottom of your post that have nothing to do with anything, that = spam.
