This is stated in their TOS. People who use craiglist for their hooker needs stand a pretty decent chance of getting sting'ed.

Interesting. I was aware of this so I looked it up. You're spot on.
This only serves to confuse me further on the subject though, because while Craigslist has done all of this, it seems that like the police would be using it to their advantage even more since a verification process is intact. Seems like if it's not a vice cop posting the ad, that the ones that aren't would be easily noticed by the police and all they would have to do is get the information from CL.
