Got a CL Ad flagged

Sign in to disble this ad
Put up an ad for lessons last night and got an email this morning saying it had been flagged. Given that the entirety of the message was Learn all styles along with theory, reading, and other non-performance skills. Email for more information., I'm doubtful someone other than another music teacher thought this was objectionable. Anyone else get an ad of theirs flagged needlessly?

Probably the wrong section. Only place you can advertise services offerred is under services, lessons and tutoring. Which means that CL basically sucks as a marketing tool. That is sort of the point of CL though... They have a very strict policy on advertising of any sort... Like no dealers in the for sale section...

In which section did you post your ad? Posting it in the musical instruments section, for example, would be the wrong category, and should get flagged.

If you posted it in services, as 4Mal says, this shouldn't have happened.
