Houston Craigslist Clearly Not Moderated

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

Too many times I have searched Craigslst in Houston area for a car. and foolishly didn’t set my min max price search at exactly one dollar apart. I say this because you do any price difference greater than $10, you get a page full of rims and tires and seats in the car section. All the while there is a separate section specifically for parts, tires etc.
I report these parts when I see them in the section for complete cars. but to no avail.

If someone moderates that place. Please wake them up and make sure they get back to work.because the site is unusable like this. Please send warnings and notices to the repeat offenders. Use i.p. and account bans for the persistent offenders.

If it keeps up, I will start posting couches and dog clothes in the auto section.

Just because they say “F150 tires and rims” does not qualify it to be in the F150 searches. Seriously… anyone searching for an F150 most likely will not own an F150, and not need rims and tires. The person selling the F150 will most likely not be willing to invest into the truck so please.

And do not allow the searches to check dealerships. because you will get 10 versions of the exact same ad for the exact same vehicle. and then move to the next vehicle and get ten of each add for that one also.
“new 2011 Toyota Carola fresh red” next ad “2011 New Toyota Carola Fresh Red” and so on. Let’s not forget the “****l00k @t Thi$****” ads…. come on people… who falls for this crap?

STOP IT !

When searching for a job you can get frustrated and worn out by stumbling into all the quick money postings. The types of junk that lead you into paying money because they say you can make money, and you end up shorter on cash and worse off than when you started. Well there is a job search website that claims to prevent such postings.

The owners of that site also run some chat rooms and forums, so they know a few things about automated postings. They point out that people use Bots or automated posting programs to post the same stuff on forums as they do on job search sites. They say they see them all the time when they do research at other job search sites. Now as forum and chatroom owners, the trick is to make everyone who chooses to submit a job to wait for site team approval. If you know how lazy bot owners are, you know they do not create 100000 email addresses, so if they use one at all, it is the same one. So the crew at http://iworkwithpeople.com simply do a google (the magical mystical device) search on what information is givin, and if the applicant comes up within the list of internet badness, they refuse the applicant.

So far the site has been up for a few weeks, and well, all that has found them so far is spam bots and one single company. I liked what they did so I am posting  a heads up on what they do. If you are looking to post a job, and do not use a spammers email address and or i.p. address , feel free to post a job at http://iworkwithpeople.com .

If you are looking for work, post a “work wanted” ad on there. Some one will respond. The level of privacy is  amazing. Take a look around.

Oh yeah, did I mention the site was 100% free to all users?  submit/search/resume  the whole thing is totally free.

And inspired as I am from this “help the world find a job” post   go listen to the podcasts at jobacle.com He reminds you that you are worth more than the job you think you are, and inspires you with motivating suggestions.   Great podcast for getting the cubicle monkey out of you :-P
