Where to post questions about Craigslist ads?

[Deadlock99]

I want to ask advise from BHW members about posting ads on CL but my last thread was removed because it is not allowed in the public areas.
What area can I post CL ad questions?

I cannot find the rule about this, but anything related to Craigslist is only allowed to be posted in the Jr VIP section of the forum for classified ads.

To access this part of the forum, you need to have 100 posts and then pay the $97 + VAT (if applicable) to upgrade.

he is correct, cl discussion isnt allowed on the open forum
not sure why, just 1 of those rules we have to follow

According to BTB this is the reason:

To protect the members from massive lawsuits from that entity.

There has been more than one member here sued for real money (7 figures) due to violating their ToS.

According to BTB this is the reason:

Breaching their T&Cs wouldn't be a criminal offence in my country and good luck to them to try and sue me in a US court that has no jurisdiction over me, especially as I have no desire to ever visit the US, but thanks for clarifying it. Guess I will go back to testing the old fashioned way

Back in 08ish FTC got involved because of aff scams on CL (mostly credit report offers)

The rule cannot be found anywhere in the TOS, but when you can't find a rule, just post a link to any mod's post where it's stated.

Anyway, @Sephrata answered this. We've got a classifieds section in the Jr. VIP Zone.
