Last night I listed a Bushnell optic on Craigslist and it has been deleted. I don't post much on Craigslist so I am not to sure of the rules. I just cut and pasted the post from the want to sell section on here. Any one know why it may have got deleted? Can you not sell anything even related to firearms? AR is in the title so I am thinking that may be why.

•weapons; firearms/guns and components; BB/pellet, stun, and spear guns; etc
•ammunition, clips, cartridges, reloading materials, gunpowder, fireworks, explosives The above was copied from their terms of usage. Your optic is likely considered a component. |

AR is in the title so I am thinking that may be why. Craigslist is full of people who troll the site looking for any excuse to flag gun-related items, no matter how distantly related. They repeatedly flagged my electronic game call several months back. The mods are no better - my petition to have it re-listed was denied. Bunch of anti-2A sheep. |

I did see the rules and noticed the component part but then I did notice another scope on there that had not been flagged. So then I thought it was some anti gun a**hole with nothing better to do.
Any suggestions on another site that does not take a fee and gun friendly I could list it on? _________________ •Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky. Ya get a sense of it and then you look away. –Jerry Seinfeld |

You can post it on armslist.com?
If, in your CL ad you posted you wanted to trade for anything that is also CL prohibited, that may have caused the flag as well.. Or, if you put a picture of the optic while on your gun etc etc. As mentioned, some CL people spend their entire day policing ads and flagging people. |

I have not used it, but I hear backpage is more 2A friendly. WAGuns and other forums also an option.

I took it off the AR for the pic. And I did not ask for a trade just cash sale.

I've gotten hate email through the Craigslist private email rerouter when I posted up a couple of gun-related items for sale there. I don't touch Craigslist with a 10 foot pole now unless I have no other options.

I have listed gun related items on cl. The wording is important. Sample ad...

Yeah, but then you get the fumducks who think they are buying a telescope for little Timmy who's turning seven. _________________ "Wherever you go, there you are." |

Just as an FYI, it takes multiple flags from multiple different IP addresses--the quantity of flags required to automatically delete a listing varies, and is a closely protected secret by CL--before an item is deleted. So, OP, it wasn't just one anti-2A troll flagging your item that earned it a deletion--it was multiple flags from multiple IP addresses. The other option is, the item was flagged as in violation of CL terms, was reviewed by an actual CL employee, and was pulled by that employee. Unlikely, but possible. _________________ "The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." ~Tenzin Gyatso, aka His Holiness the Dalai Lama "We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves." ~ Romans 15:1 "Ils Ont Les Armes, On Les Emmerde, On A Le Champagne!"~Charlie Hebdo, November 2015 |
