<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">It is also worth noting
that Craigslist prevents the use of Tor albeit in a very strange
way.<br>
<br>
If you try to post using Tor the ad will be permitted at first and
people can contact you. However, after about 15 minutes (and it
is always about 15 minutes) the post is "flagged" and disappears.
This happens even if the exit node is in the same location as the
section where you are trying to place the ad e.g. using a
Californian exit server and the ad is something to do with
California. <br>
<br>
I can understand that every day or week the Craigslist system has
a look at the Tor exit nodes directory and therefore can identify
Tor nodes.<br>
<br>
What I fail to understand is why the Craigslist policy is to
permit the posting then "flag" it after 15 minutes or so? Is this
automatic? Is it human? I find it bizarre. What might be the
reasons?<br>
