It would be nice if your ads "will only be deleted if they violate Craigslist's TOS." Unfortunately, this is not the case. Craigslist states:

Posts may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, CL staff, or community moderation -- for non-compliance with terms of use, site guidelines, and/or community norms.

It's possible of course that you may have violated Craigslist's terms of use; you may want to review them by following the above link. But Craigslist will impose its penalties simply on account of too many flags--and anybody can flag your post, for any or no reason.

You may be able to solve the issue with the use of a Web proxy, as offered free at http://www.zend2.com/. Fellow Help Owl volunteer smcclurken has additional suggestions here.

No one can delete your ads. They can flag them but they will only be deleted if they violate Craigslist's TOS.
