That link doesn't work for me, maybe its been taken down?
I fixed the link, it just had an extra racket, then it worked and I flagged it!
That's what I get for trying to type while being tickled.
Flagged....LH....tell LOH to leave you alone while your posting to pettalk!
Actually, for once in our relationship, LOH is innocent.......sorta.
It was the munchkins tickling me. :p
How cute I miss those days!
I hit it again......come on folks, it's not down yet, we need some more hits.
Tried to hit it from home but its gone.
Yeah, it's gone now.
How many times has it got to be hit ????
Craigslist won't tell you how many times an ad has to be flagged before it gets removed. I wish there was a better answer, but I suspect they don't announce the number of times to avoid nuisance flagging.
Bummer.

Why is your ad getting flagged? Because you're breeding, not rehoming.
All gone!
And another.

Shame, too, they're mastiff puppies.
Mate, am I right clicking on "Prohibited" ?
That's what I've been doing so far.
When I click on each of the links in post #1 I get
This posting has been flagged for removal
(The title on the listings page will be removed in just a few minutes.)
The one in #54 specifically says "please don't flag" ... :confused:
How do I recognize a byb on Craigslist? Is this one?

Hmmmmm....that might be an alternative way for millers to get around us.Quote:

A hard one.
What do you reckon LH ???
They say please don't flag to try and avoid getting flagged, even though they know they aren't supposed to be advertising on CL.
For the most part, someone legitamately looking to rehome an accidental little will post a fee, mainly low to cover the cost of vaccinations and spay/neuter.
The post you linked is almost definitely a BYB. No stated fee, details upon contact, etc.

Yeppers, let's add to the pet population.
Idiots.
I just flagged them all.. except the last one, which said it has already been flagged for removal.
Done.
Ugh why do people do this?!:mad: They are in it for the money, and nothing else.
Flagged them all, except for the last one which is already flagged for removal like Phesina said.

Some of the same as before, but evidently they need to be flagged some more.
More, a BYB trying to sell "designer puppies" :mad:
http://binghamton.craigslist.org/pas/1789962682.html
http://binghamton.craigslist.org/pas/1789956845.html
I flagged those two. "Prohibited" is the right category, isn't it? That's what I put for reason to flag.
Yep, that would be it.
Thanks, Guys!
They're gone.
My local Craigslist regions are overrun with backyard breeders violating the Craigslist TOU, but they rarely get enough flags to be removed. Here are some, if anyone wouldn't mind helping keep CL clean (it looks like a lot, but this is only two weeks' worth):

Done.. I flagged all 13 ads.
Me, too.
On a similar note... there is a page on Facebook called "Legalize Dog Fighting" :mad: -- so - if you use facebook - next time you are there please find the page and in the bottom you can click on "report". It gives you reasons that you are reporting it - inappropriate content, crime, etc.
Idiots abound:
http://binghamton.craigslist.org/pet/2562857204.html
If it's still there, flag it please.
Flagged.
And another BYB:
http://binghamton.craigslist.org/pas/2563049992.html
And the same byb trying a different tack:
http://binghamton.craigslist.org/pet/2563306403.html
Both have already been removed, I just checked!
Thanks, everyone. THey've been popping up like mad lately.
How do you know if it's legitimate or a BYB?? Are all the listed pets for sale or are some given to good homes? I have never "done" a Craigs List thing... forgive my ignorance :o
For the most part, legit breeders don't post on CL.
If someone is looking for a stud for their ACA registered XYZ, it's probably a BYB.
"accidental " litters of purebreds? Most likely BYB.
If you read a bunch of them, you get a feel for the legit rehomings and a BYB or pet flipper (yes, people do take "free to a good home" pets and then sell them)
That's disgusting :(:mad: They should... oh nevermind, my thoughts on people that do such things for the almighty buck would even be barred from the "Doghouse". :(
