[SWAF-Potluck] CL

Sun Dec 21 14:40:14 PST 2014

Hi everyone,

I really don't know much about CL as I never advertised there so, I'm
wondering whether anyone knows whether they do any analysis of flagging?
Like, do they pay attention to whether ads are being flagged by users who
have ads in the same category?  Whether it's one individual flagging a
whole bunch of ads?  Curious because this would be a pretty easy tactic for
the abolitionists to employ.  Does anyone know whether CL looks at stuff
like this?
