User flags, even when not justified, can result in holds.

Craigslist states:

Postings may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, craigslist staff, or community moderation, for reasons including failure to comply with terms of use, posting guidelines, and/or community norms.

For more guidance, see the full Craigslist page.

The good news is that these holds may last only a few days or so. In the meantime, I'm afraid, there's probably nothing you can do. There's no way of finding the basis for a flag.
