Actually, I think it's the users who do the flagging.

"If a post receives enough negative flags it will automatically be
removed (only one flag per person per post is counted)."

So there is no human intervention, and I've heard of there being some
malicious flagging going on between Craigslist users

"Members of the agency were concerned about community forums like
Craigslist which are read by millions of people. Our job at Tomkins and
Scott, my job specifically, was to monitor Craigslist and summarily flag
all postings which reflected negatively upon the city in any way. I am
going public with this because, after 3 years of being a censor for
Craigslist, I believe what we are doing is totally wrong. "

Here is just one forum of many on Craigslist where people solicit each
other to flag posts so that they will be removed:

There are many people on Craigslist who do nothing but "flag" aka
spamcop and a lot of these people make Viper look like a creampuff.
