In hindsight, this is deliciously ironic advice considering the noteworthy cesspool of Dreg's creation. In 2012 I ventured into the Craigslist chatroom to determine why a posted item I had listed was 'ghosted'. I believe the answer was too many numerals in my description(RV: model year, mileage, doors, beds, etc.). After my attempt to satisfy the ambiguous criterion to no effect I returned and cited numerous examples other than mine that exceeded the reason given but were not ghosted. The result was every ad I had listed was then ghosted and every relist and new creation was ghosted by default. I ended up creating a new disposable, copy+pasted new listings verbatim without incident and sold most items. Listing a recently deceased family member's possessions was a chore, reaching out to Dregslist chat turned it into a nightmare.

Why isn't Dreg using these funds to cleanup harrasment, data farmers and scammers on 'his' site?

edit: on-topic, I too had edits on WP overturned in the mid-00's. I posted my defense in page notes to no avail and desisted any further attempts.
