I agree with edmccaffrey: it's not confusing at all! Here's what I'd like from a redesign of Craigslist:
1. Automatic spelling correction from posting-lingo in Standard English.
2. Automatic stemming of arbitrary description of location into zipcode.
3. Avoid scams by something like reputation points.
The front-page navigation is not their killer feature.

- derefr 17y agoYou mean, automatically block all-uppercase posts. Let the people figure it out for themselves, don't let them think that "computers just do that" so that they start sending e-mails that way.
- derefr 17y agoHaving more property-based forms on data-heavy posts (e.g. when selling computers) would be nice. It's very frustrating when someone leaves off something in the plaintext description that would be a required field if it was separated.

One hallmark of Craigslist is that they do not care one shred about what you post, as long as it doesn't violate the liberal terms of service. Drop by your local RnR if you think that all-caps is anywhere near the most egregious abuses of content freedom on the site. > 3. Avoid scams by something like reputation points. I'm confident that the majority of content on Craigslist is submitted by anonymous users.
