This photographer is so unbelievable cheap, dishonest, and crooked. Not only is their work crap but they go after their own kind. They post on local craigslist.org and ksl.com everyday despite posting rules and guidelines prohibiting such behavior by using multiple accounts. Now if that wasn't fair, they also flag their competitor's to subdue the competition. Improve your own photographer instead of causing others that are simply trying to make it grief. Don't ever hire them for your wedding, I can only imagine how crappy their business ethic is by their behavior. Creative light photography, you have pissed of one too many photographers... karma is a [censored]!

It's too big of a coincidence that this is happening to MANY photographers. It's simply an observation of ethics, in this case the lack of.

I have been trying to post on Craig's List in Utah for THREE YEARS. These people are HORRIBLE! And it is still going on now and it is 2012! We tried posting several times and all of our ads were flagged off within minutes or hours. The only active postings on Utah Craig's List (Northern Utah) are for Creative Light. You have any idea how many photographers are in Utah?! The concept that only ONE photographer would have the idea to post on Craig's List there is ABSURD! I have been in the Flag forum on CL multiple times, and the first few times no one would listen to me and insisted that something was wrong with my ads. Then I showed them this page, and now I guess they believe me, but they don't know what to do about it.

How could any one be so uncharitable to your colleagues? That isn't what this industry is about. At ALL.

Oh yeah. Take your own advice and stop wasting your time by deleting everyone else's posts! If you're that worried about all of the competition then quit photography!

Whatever. You are such a Craigslist [censored]. Google your own name you idiot and you will see how much you suck. When you are the ONLY ones who aren't getting deleted I think it says a lot. Not to mention a lot of posts get deleted on Craigslist because of ###s like you who hit "flag" multiple times over and over and over. Or maybe you downloaded a craigslist flag bot. COW!

Instead of wasting your time attacking people that you have never met or talked to, try learning how Craigslist works.
Their staff states that postings are automatically removed when X number of users flag it for the same reason (e.g. spam, misconduct, discussion, miscategorized). A lot of safeguards are in place to ensure that each flagger's vote is counted only once per posting, and that one person's flags are counted for only a few postings per day (you don't need an account to flag an ad). X (flag threshold) varies from city-to-city, category-to-category, and day-to-day, depending on conditions they decide on.
If it was easy to flag ads on Craigslist, no body would be able to use it. Your conspiracy theory that states that one person in Utah beat the system is simply unbelievable!

These people SUCK! They also delete all of my ads on craigslist. I rely on those ads for business and unfortunately some jerks have to go around and delete everyone's ads. Lets all get together and delete their ads as soon as they're posted and see how they like it. I have contacted Craigslist many times and unfortunately they don't do anything about it. Creative Light Media of Utah are HORRIBLE people. DO NOT support them! DO NOT use them for any reason. They should be banned from all internet postings.

Completely agree with the above statement. They are so shady they don't even list a contact name on their site. They have been deleting my Craigslist posts for a long time. Sick of it. Sick of them. Do not support them, do not hire them. If you want a real photographer look for someone else in the area, anyone is better than CreativeWasteofTimeMedia.
