They pretty much ignore the simple tenant of web design:
make it dead simple for new users
and powerful enough for the power-users*
It's sad, but it's the best place for apartments in nyc.. and the listings are incredibly polluted: apartments listed in the wrong neighborhoods, without a location, lies about nearness to subways ("steps from the subway!" - but when you look up the intersection they list [if they list it], it's a 10 minute bus-ride away from the nearest train).. flagging doesn't seem to help any, either - they just repost the same ad, over and over again...
*In Craigslist terms, this of course is the peruser, not the poster.

- misuba 17y agoWell, that's one possible solution down. Maybe there are some others? CL seems to feel that doing anything at all to fight the asshats just results in giving the asshats more toys to play with... and for the obvious solutions, that's true. What they need are some non-obvious solutions - which might require them to spend a little more money than they're making today.
- jongraehl 17y agoWhat possible solution would require spending more than the $100m/yr they're making? Thousands of highly paid expert moderators?
