But a broken system. <br /><br />The flag threshold in event services has been lowered quite low. <br />So it may only take a small number of people out of 1000s of viewers to flag down a post. <br /><br />I made several trips to the forums, and between being pelted with insults for suggesting there was a systemic problem there, I listened to every possible suggestion to make my ad "flag proof" the only thing that worked was accidentally leaving the word "DJ" out the body of my post (I had used DJs) the site stayed live for 3 hours. When I edited it and put the word DJ in, it came down in less than an hour. <br /><br />I think this may be a structural problem that may combine some kind of software as you suggest, to further lower an already, very low flag threshold. But whatever is happening LAX events is functionally broken. <br /><br />Thanks for addressing this! I have not read all the comments, but perhaps we can start some kind of petition to get CLs attention. <br /><br />I've been happily using CL for 10 years ... and this is the first problem I have ever had. And it is somewhat of a nightmare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452174546952887212.post-79792288962462413602011-10-27T18:01:25.881-07:002011-10-27T18:01:25.881-07:00I've talked to the same guy probably.

However, I asked him point blank, what's the evidence that it's Kitchen Angels or her son, other than the fact that her son got testy on the phone. I mean, a guy who was clueless about the whole situation emailed me a while ago and almost accused me of being the flagger. Anonymously. And I told him, I will not respond to an anonymous email but tell me your name and I'll reply and I'll tell you why I'm not the flagger. And he did. I've talked to this guy, who sounds as frustrated as the rest of us with this asshole, but I asked him what is the evidence that it's Kitchen Angels and he didn't have any.

This person also claims to have received a follow up phone call and an email from this person and says they have the person's direct contact information as the person did not block their number. I have requested it from them but so far have not obtained it.

I'm not saying it's not possible that they are the flagger, but there's no conclusive proof that they are. I can tell you privately why it doesn't make sense to me, based on what I've observed so far that it's Kitchen Angels. But based on what you said, on that particular day, there are posting of Kitchen Angels at the bottom of the page, below the posting you mentioned. And if it were a catering company who did this --which again, does not make sense to me for more than one reasons, that I'd be happy to explain to you privately-- removing every ad, or doing what the flagger has been doing would first and foremost hurt themselves. Let's say it's Kitchen Angels or "her idiot son" like someone said, if you flag everyone in the Events section for a month you're shooting yourself in the foot. Which is absurd, especially if you consider that, if say you're a photographer or videographer or a DJ you can go to the Creative section as most people have been doing when the flagger "blanket-flags" the entire events section. But if you're a caterer and this is happening you're screwed because nobody is going to go look for a caterer in the creative section.Kenu Rivashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990645972940057944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452174546952887212.post-56090752624859548982011-09-11T08:18:51.981-07:002011-09-11T08:18:51.981-07:00Notice the spelling errors are a match as well as ...Notice the spelling errors are a match as well as the tone.

I'm as frustrated as anyone with this, and I'd like to know who it is, but you need to give some concrete proof before you point the finger to the "suspect du jour." But I'll tell you what the reality is. Whoever is doing this, had stopped for a week. Then they came back and started bringing down the events section. But the reality is, the person who's doing it is not on the computer from say 10 am to sometimes 7 pm or sometimes later 11 pm or even later. Then they come home and pick and flag whoever they don't like. But if you post during those times in the creative section, your posts will stand. So, if you want my sincere opinion, until we find him from the IP addresses we have, the best thing is to outpost him. <br /><br />He never blankets flags the creative section, either because that's beyond his software or because he has a vested interest to be there, I don't know.Kenu Rivashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990645972940057944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452174546952887212.post-60821722874845310492011-09-08T09:11:03.589-07:002011-09-08T09:11:03.589-07:00Come on guys, it's Kitchen Angels pulling this...Come on guys, it's Kitchen Angels pulling this crap, but cl is letting them.

Not too sure why they'd be interested in me. Also what's nice is that the tracker allows you to view how long that specific IP views your page. All of them have viewed my ad for less than 1 second. I tested this on my laptop and it tracked its IP to my ad for the minutes I was on it. Seems very fishy.
