Maybe I missed something.... I thought we weren't allowed to advertise on craigslist?

I was on the site today looking for other things and came across a couple of ads from different consultants. Did the rules change on this subject? I thought we weren't allowed to advertise on craigslist? Even if we are, are we not responsible for using the independent consultant logos in the ad?
 
You are correct. That is against the policies.
 
There will always be those who think the rules are made for everyone else, and not for them. It could be a few who honestly don't know because they qhvent taken the time to read the Policy And Guidelines...but that is no excuse.

I choose not to get hung up on it. You can report one, and two more take it's place. (just look at ebay!)
