I have a client who is way frustrated with Craigslist. He's an editor and has rigged up skype to edit people's work from all around the country, or at least in the 7 or 8 major markets he was advertising via CL in. He was skirting the rules with every angle possible - multiple accounts with separate phone numbers and e-mail addresses. He got flagged now and then but was getting steady work.

CL shut him down over night, they use IP addresses now to track where you're coming from - he's now limited to a 500 or so mile radius.

Yes, it's true he was gaming the system. But what's frustrating is that CL gets most of the eyeballs these days, they've put everyone else out of business or on the ropes, and since it's free, he can't complain that he's not getting his money's worth. It's sort of a quasi tyranny by Craigslist. Quite a bit of power and very little accountability.
