Craigslist Pet Terms of Service

Due to the lack of specific Terms of Service regarding what is and is not acceptable in the Pets Section of Nashville's Craiglist there has become a major problem with abusive flagging and unnecessary postings.

The current Terms of Service states no breeding or pet sales, but does allow rehoming with a small fee. It has become absolutely imperative that CraigsList define "small fee". It has become the source for much dissension and many hateful postings.

In addition, the flagging needs to be moderated. Whether it is collecting the flaggers' emails or IP addresses; something needs to be done to stop flag abuse. Many people have found it impossible to place a pet in a new home because they are flagged and not aware the reason. People are flagging out of spite and personal opinions as opposed to valid reasons (i.e. breaking actual rules set forth by Terms of Service).

Nashville CraigsList pet section users would also like to see an ability to ban obvious breeders. Breeders will post multiple times throughout the day in hopes that enough people will see the ad before it is flagged. It is working and it is causing many many arguments between postings which take attention away from the pets that actually need homes.

In conclusion, we are asking for CraigsList to be more specific in regards to the Terms of Service (especially in defining "small rehoming fee"), to somehow track those who flag inappropriately, and to ban proven breeders.

Thank you!
