I gave up on CL years ago when the apartment rental lists for Amsteram became overrun with obvious scams. I would flag them, but it never seemed to matter. Then also because of the Backpage disaster they stopped all the person to person (dating or hookup) groups. It's a shame too, because I actually met some good people in the past on those groups. So on one hand, they over-moderated by eliminating whole segments of their site while apparently ignoring other segments which became rife with garbage ads or outright scams. And once the real audience finds wading through garbage to be too much effort, we leave and the site becomes irrelevant.
