Craigslist Help (Recruiting ALL Members)

Ok, I tried again for Memphis and it is still blocking me from posting it. Chattanooga is still posted.

Fuzzylogic and I are discussing the possibility of creating another Ad to get around the blockage. For now, just keep the Chattanooga one updated and we'll worry about memphis in a bit. Did you try and change the title? Maybe change the format a bit?

[davidtcb1]

I changed the title and modified a couple lines.

[Jess Puff]

And it still didn't work... bummer!

Huntsville and Birmingham posted.

CL tried to block the second posting even though I had a different subject line, so I went in and added this sentence to the second one:
Are aquariums and tropical fish your passion?
and it took it with no problem.

[davidtcb1]

I will try that.

[Jess Puff]

Yea, if you just modify the post a little, it should take it. Thanks guys!

[Jess Puff]

Alright!... we have 10 more CL areas. We need some club members (or forum members) to step up and help us out. We're trying to spread this out amongst the club so not one person has to update 20 different ads. Please let me know if you're interested in helping the club grow! Many thanks!

Nashville is up.
(I might have tweaked the ad a little..I can't help myself. I told them Rick is giving away 5 free angelfish to all new members this month. Was that wrong?)

Anyway, prepare for the new member onslaught.

I'd give you a link, but hey, it's Craigslist. You can find it if you really want to.

[Jess Puff]

Is it against their terms to post an ad in different regions? I didn't realize that.

[fishguy]

Glad I don't have a static IP.
But seriously, I've read the terms of service. Which items do you have a concern about?
I don't think posting about a pet-oriented, non-profit club in the community->pets section is out of line. The ToS does say in effect, "I agree not to post the same ad in multiple areas/CL cities", but technically if we each do one city, each person is not in violation of that one, either.

[fuzzylogic]

If it gets Banned So What!!!! We can just do something differently next time. you aren't supposed to sell pets on there but people do it everyday. I know I've seen a few new users pop up and they haven't before we started doing this. If they tell a friend and their friends tell a friend then it will be worth it. We have already benefited.

Flagged and removed was the email I got this am.

What section did you list the ad in?

[Jess Puff]

How's it going for everyone?
