Unlike many websites, Craigslist is not account-based; that is, you don't need an account for full access. It's a good idea to report the issue to Craigslist, at http://sfbay.craigslist.org/feedback, but don't wait for Craigslist to restore your account. Your best course is to abandon the account and, if you wish, create a new one. You will probably need a new phone number for verification -- if necessary, enlist the aid of a buddy who'll stand by and relay the code to you.
