Craigslist Phone Verification
Sign Now
We ask that craigslist stops requiring the manditory phone verification for posting in the services section until such time they can can fix all the current bugs with the system. It is currently blocking indiscriminately without regard to if someone has abused the system in the past with spamming etc. It also is blocking people who use VOIP and other alternative carriers and phone companies. Many long time craigslist users who never have had any problems with spamming are reporting they are unable to complete the phone verification process.
We understand the need for craigslist to find a way to defeat spammers, but the phone verification system as it is now, is not blocking them. However it is blocking many people who have posted ads to the services section for years without problem. Ideally you can find a better system that works without being so intrusive, but until then at least fix these problems before making this mandatory.
Thanks,

The current CL phone verification system overlooked several issues that hamper it's loyal users; 1. It assumes that only one person, household uses a phone number, therefore it will only allow 1 account per phone. It does not allow you to cancel an older

You built your system on openess and value-by making the phone verication inoperable you are blocking out alot of legitimate businesses.
