I have always suspected that it is prohibited in that posting region only. There are several regions or zones across the country. When you mark it prohibited I have always felt like that is for the region or posting zone I am in at the time. I don't know if any of you use search tempest. It searches all the craigslist zones (what ever they are called)at once. Must be a dozen or two. But you see tons of adds that are a hoax all across the country. If you watch dumping trailers for instance. You will see fraudulent adds that show up all over. For a while I tried to clean them out of the Denver area. Played with a few of the sellers to give them a hard time. In our local area there are folks that find the criminal adds and sometimes make a copy of it and repost it with the word fraud or something across it to help teach others. My experience is that they repost prohibited adds with in a few days.
