This tool is being used by all sorts of creeps and crooks
to remove legitimate posts of all kinds, and especially
to censor political speech. The management of the site
are refusing to acknowledge that it even exists.

That's true.
I listed some LPs & 45.
The listing was flagged and removed at about the same time another
person listed their vinyl records.
They simply flagged my listing to remove competition.

It doesn't appear to function.

I tried using it to flag a particularly offensive posting on CL. The posting
remains.

If you look at the flagging forum, you'll see there are a lot of reasons
people feel justified flagging a post.

All caps is one. If it's not local it may get flagged.

I think CL has blocked it. However, very rapid removals of postings
still occur daily, sometimes within minutes of a post appearing.

Therefore, I have to assume there is another similar website
to CraigsFlagger.com

I think it is safe to assume there are multiple sites
like CraigsFlagger, if not an actual Windows program.

The problem is really that CL has gotten too big
and needs competition. Yet nobody wants to
go to a different site, it seems.
