I used to like doublelist and used to meet alot of guys then suddenly all my ads were rejected permanently.
This is run by gays, for gays. ONLY. The Only REAL ads that get thru are the men seeking... m4... If you're FEMALE, don't waste your time with Doublelist. Go elsewhere. Doublelist assumes that all females are prostitutes. Your account quickly gets SUSPENDED. Once it gets Suspended, it never gets out. There is nobody to review any ads.
This site is completely useless. My biggest complaint is they offer a help section which is absolutely of no help whatsoever... I've written them over and over with the same problem and they never respond. Which begs the question why do they even offer a help section to begin with if they have no intention of helping you... maybe not enough staff... Or maybe they simply don't care which seems the most likely answer.
The problem I've written about many times and they never addressed... Is:..." I write people's ads all the time and I never get a single reply... It's simply not possible to write a 100 people's ads and not get one reply ". Clearly their site does not work... They block you unnecessarily for the smallest things all the time... They make it difficult to even use their site when theyre a new site and they should be striving to gain a new audience... It almost seems like they wish to fail... Somehow or another my account is blocked and I don't even know why... And when I write them to ask them to tell me why and to unblock my account and allow me to answer other people's ads yet I never get a response. And then finally after ( With no exaggeration)at least 20 Attemps of writing them. I did finally receive a response telling me that they were making some adjustments to my account and that I would be able to the used the site properly. And yes indeed they did adjust it. Woohoo. AND I t worked for a whole 2 days before it failed again. Lol... unbelievable... Now I've begun the repetitive cycle of writing their frequently asked question help section to get My account unblocked again. ( A blocking by the way which I have no idea why it even occurs to begin with). Still like before to get no answer/ replies after multiple attempts to reach them. To sum up. A colossal waste of time... Yes they're trying to replicate craigslist but they are a far cry from it... If any of you people in the company are reading this I suggest you start paying attention to the things people are writing and saying and adjust...
Every ad or response to my ad was fake, flake, or spammer. Do not waste your time. Yes its it's free, but it worth even less.
It's a fun site with a lot posts, but majority of posts are looking for FWB or long term. We were just wanting a one time thing. Most replies were from old men or weirdos. They are making attempts to better the site.
I have had issues of not receiving replies to our posts (had 4 up) and only got hits on one where we were looking for a male to join us. Have had numerous posts flagged for whatever reason. Posts were kept in guidelines.
Perverts.
A lot of trolls.
Customer Service is non existent. Have tried contacting them several times.
Just awful and a complete waste of time. All real postings are flagged when following the guidelines.
I have been there since they first opened & today when i went to the URL i got this...
"Sorry, you have been blocked.
This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. You performed an action that triggered the service and blocked your request.

Terrible site. I am someone who totally understand that everything has "rules" and "guidelines," however, this is insane. I have written posts on several occasions that were taken down because they did not "fit the guidelines" when there as NOTHING offensive, illegal, and as vanilla as they get, in it. NOTHING. And then when you attempt to get them to give you an explanation, they won't reply to you.
PLEASE BRING BACK CRAIG'S LIST!
Someone used my phone number to get validated on the site. There is no way for me to contact Double List to correct this error. You cannot reached them by email unless they have a valid phone number in their system. They do not have a service number to make complaints. This is a poor business model and will encourage thief of telephone number s and potentially persons identification. If the person who used my telephone number does an illegal act it may impact me. So beware with those you interact with on this site, they may not be who you think they are.
How does one work around being blocked? I did nothing but hit the back button and I'm blocked. I do enjoy the site, but now can't use it.
I was going through ads and then clicked the back button and now I'm blocked? This makes no sense. It blocked me saying I'm a spammer which doesn't make sense and I have an open account with them.
They are blocking for no apparent reason. I hope Doublelist gets taken down and bring back Craigslist. I will block Doublelist as well.
It's a decent site until they up and try to block you from it for literally no reason. I don't know why they keep trying to block me, but whatever people made the site clearly aren't very smart, because it's an easy work around. I can't be locked if I really want to get access to any site, like this one, which I am able to have continued access even though I've been blocked. GG, checkmate.
Doublelist permently booted me for adds I posted. But somehow allows adds worse than mine. Both written and pics posted. Yeah they suck.
I signed up as a new user with no trouble. Then I made 9 attempts to post an ad, all of which were "flagged" (rejected). Several of them had no sexual words at all, and two of them were nearly exact copies of postings that were already on the site. I sent detailed messages to the help mailbox, and all I got back was a form letter saying "read the guidelines more carefully." They have a policy of not telling you anything about why a posting was flagged -- in particular, they don't tell you whether it was rejected by an algorithm, a moderator, or "the community" -- and when a posting is rejected, they also delete the draft, so you can't edit it and try again. I wish I knew a better alternative.
Reply to my own post and never get reply
I see a lot of posts that violate their "rules" and when
I tested the waters with a photo I was banned from site going on 4 months now. "Customer Service" won't answer emails inquiring as to why I was banned
A lot of posts show current date but we're on there 8 months earlier... makes it look like their doing better than they are as far as volume
I have been on this site for months, I keep responding to the appropriate postings and have never received any replies. Not a good site!
Limited audience. DL reposts your add to make it appear that more are using it. Often replies are never delivered, i replied to my own post and NEVER received it. Have to talk like you are in 4th grade. No x talk or x pics. I have had add flagged that had no vulgarity at all nor x pics..
Worthless! I even messaged my own sd& never received a reply. There's something wrong when people are begging someone to message them& send 10 messages to no avail. Complete waste of time
Answer: It's on hold forever. Just forget about it. There is no need trying to contact customer service. There are better sites like http://joy4love.com If you are looking for hot girls - works like charm. DoubleList has always been worthless anyway. I only met just a bunch of scammers there.
Answer: Now that doublelist.com is forcing payments there will be more free sites popping up soon!
Answer: It's now 100% official, when you asked this question it was in a test phase & someone made an error of letting it go live. As of this reply you must pay a monthly fee
