Win a free craigscrimelist t-shirt

It’s been way too long since we last gave away a free CCL t-shirt but we get to give one away today It goes to Pamela for the following comment…

I do not use Craigslist because of all the terrible things that have happened from using it, as for the backpage they need to remove it. It is so sad when these girls are in this kind of situation and everyone who uses this page is just as guilty as the ones hurting these girls!It could be your wife or daughter. Thank you for everything you do to inform use of CL crime.

Thank you Pamela for being such a great reader. I’ll be contacting you to have the shirt sent out to you.

Speaking of the shirts there is going to be a slight delay in having them sent out in the next couple of weeks due to personal reasons but the contests continue.

Today is your chance to win a free craigscrimelist t-shirt emblazoned with the motto “Friends don’t let friends use craigslist.”

For the 3rd week in a row I didn’t have to extend the contest for a lack of comments. It seems business is actually picking up now.

This week’s winning comments comes to us from Cheryl…

I don’t trust Craigslist because there is no oversight – so many people have been killed or hurt or ripped off responding to CL postings. When you call the newspaper to place an ad, they ask questions before accepting your ad, which makes me feel like it’s a much safer way to conduct business. Of course, CL is free – but you get what you pay for – and there appears to be no one looking out for the integrity of the site. Thanks for all you do to inform the public of Craigslist crime.

Thank you Cheryl for being an active participant in the discussion. I’ll be contacting you to have the shirt sent out to you.

It seems that business is picking up again as we had another winning comment for two weeks in a row now for the free craigscrimelist t-shirt.

This week’s comment comes to us from Tiffany…

CL is disgusting. How can people know if they are looking at something genuine? I mean, some people are selling sex on there. DISGUSTING. Geebo is the real deal. I feel so much safer using it and I know I am not being duped.

Now remember kids, you don’t have to mention Trench’s favorite classifieds site in Geebo.com but it doesn’t hurt.

But now on to this week’s contest which is the same as it has been.

It only took us a day this time to get a winning comment. It was the only comment we got but it’s a great comment. This week’s winning comment is from Morse_the_horse…

I was a volunteer for a number of years helping people with questions and problems on craigslist. I finally just gave up. CL had no apparent interest in getting rid of the real spammers and scammers but let “community moderation” get rid of the small troublemaking advertiser. They also did nothing about those harassing the helpers.

CL is a profit-making company but I volunteered because I liked their concept of local advertising. Also as someone who bought and sold a few items at no cost, I felt I owed something back for that opportunity. However, not getting rid of the real spammers and the obvious non-locals and not fixing their rules and FAQs to make it clear to the small poster what was acceptable or not and not even communicating to the helpers what was their official interpretations of their rules just got to be too much.

They seem to be smoking too many of those “funny little cigarettes” for “medical” purposes to really care. I gave up and don’t help nor use it any more.

So there it is from someone who volunteered their own time and effort in order to help craigslist but it seems that craigslist didn’t really want the help.

But now on to this week’s contest which is the same as it has been.
