Craigslist at least separates the targeted area for prostitutes to place their ads instead of misleading people - or posting it in inappropriate places.

Would you rather have a secluded spot for those types of ads, or would you rather the children stumble upon it in the toys and games area?

If you can't stop it - at least allow them to keep it somewhat organized and away from the spots where people who don't want it won't just find it pop up in front of them. I'd hate to have inappropriate posts in say a job posting area if I'm looking for more employees. CL is a great service for what it is - (I've found many job candidates via their job posting area). Let's just keep it clean.
