How To Flag Other Ads On Craigslist When They Are Flagging You (WITHOUT ACTUALLY FLAGGING)

Robin of Loxley here, I'd like to tell you a story I once heard from little John.....little John said the best way to flag someone was not by fighting fire with fire, or flags versus flags, but by making the assailant turn to water to put their own fire out.

We personally hate flaggers here, they are the scum of the earth (and people that create programs and bots like craigsflagger, you are also scum that serves scum), so we thought we might share this story for anyone else that has to deal with flaggers that does not want to become one themselves.

Although the individual's name that told us this story one evening by a campfire was not actually Little John, this person was a small business owner and they were being picked on by a bully with a much bigger budget that was trying to prevent everyone else from getting any business, or playing fair, on the classifieds, and Little John (as they will now be called) said they did the below for a David versus Goliath moment.


This is not advice or a guide, just information relayed on how they responded to competitors flagging their ads with a technique that burned down the bully's barn so they had to spend their time fixing up their own farm before attacking others (and according to Little John, they never bullied again after this little trick).

Let us know your thoughts:

Have you tried the below technique against flaggers?  Does it work?  If so, share your answers in the comments.

STEP 1: BE A GOOD ARTIST.

COPY THEIR ADS WORD FOR WORD.

STEP 2:  BE A GREAT ARTIST.

Download the demo of CLADG, apply the crack to get CLADG for free (this is where the second part of Picasso's quote comes in, also worth mentioning, Jobs stole the quote from Picasso).

If you don't want to use CLADG, you can also do it manually or hire someone that doesn't know what they are doing to post the ads for you, there are hundreds if not thousands of them on sites like Freelancer and oDesk claiming they are ad posting experts, and why not use this as an opportunity to let them show off their expertise?

STEP 3: BE GREAT.

Use accounts with deletion histories or created on VPNs or proxies (same thing).  Set up HMA or any shared VPN/proxy, select a server outside the city you're posting in.  Then, post their copied ads using CLADG.

RESULT?

Did the bully's ad content then become blacklisted, and auto-deleted, moving forward?

Little John said it did along with any IP addresses and accounts they used with that content, but we'd rather hear it from you.
