Craigslist Censorship?

[bumfluff]

An open letter to Craigslist from No!Spec was posted to try and address an ongoing problem for professional designers advertising on the site.

And then a day or so later, it's been flagged for removal... whuh?

I guess the pointer is that Craigslist is a classifieds service, not a service for those
looking to make what could be construed to be a political point.

Could be. And maybe it wasn't flagged by Craigslist, it coulda been a user who flagged it (like when reporting spam on here, sorta thing). Be interesting to see if it's actually removed. I see your point about it being a classified ad service, although I'm not sure I agree (looking at other posts that have stuck there), especially seeing as the letter wasn't a rant or a vent, but a sensible suggestion.

Yeah, but I can think of plenty of examples where forums and similar are happy to trash anything that may be seen as a criticism.

Will indeed be interesting to see whether it is actually removed.
