If I understand it correctly, CL sent C&D to ridejoy because someone was posting ridejoy urls on CL? That's absurd if that's the case.. so how was it?
- michaelt 13y agoRidejoy cross-posted adverts to Craigslist automatically. Quite a few compete-with-craigslist companies seem to post to or scrape craigslist as part of their effort to capture CL's userbase - padmapper for instance. Craigslist doesn't seem to like this.
- kalvin 13y agoWe allowed our users to cross-post to CL if they chose to (it was opt-in, not the default, and they had to sign into CL themselves to do so... so not automatic) and many people did. If they cross-posted to CL, there was all the basic logistical info in the post, plus a small link to their ride on Ridejoy at the bottom of the post (which the user could remove).
