Regarding the remark "interesting side note, you actually used the ability to remain anonymous in your post".
I might be confused here but it looks to me like the first post from the person who has/had the mystery flagger/hater, has a picture and her entire name.

MODERATOR NOTE: We were originally not going to allow this post, but frankly, we thought you all might be interested in how groups like these operate to flag other people's posts.

This is a way of life we have to live with now. It's not just CL. You've seen the news stories of teen bullying on Facebook and Twitter, and there are many websites where you can post about your ex "cheating" or whatever. Only with a paid service like Angie's List can there be very tight controls, and that's a difficult business model to emulate. Any passive-aggressive person out there can have their merry way on the internet bashing other people anonymously.

It's too hard to sue for defamation of character--that's why the madness continues. Yes, one can track IP addresses but it's expensive and some perps can even dodge that.

One just has to be ready with a plan of defense. Taking regular, knowledgeable steps to control your social media presence is the only way to protect yourself.

An interesting side note: you actually used the ability to remain anonymous to post here!

Why do people post all their bad karma on craigslist anyway? I have personally seen several posts about various companies and I think it's just a way for people to bash others and then try to hide behind CL! Why are you bashing on CL? Grow up! If you have a legitimate and valid issue you will take the necessary steps to alleviate and fix your issue. Why bring the whole world into YOUR ISSUES! That's not what craigslist is for. People are taking the time to look at what they think are service ads or employment ads and housing ads and instead find themselves in the middle of a bashing session of some company or individual. Don't believe everything you read on CL! If everyone started suing for defaming of character on the internet this drama would stop!
