This is a difficult question to answer. There are many different reasons that people use Craigslist and any response could be interpreted in an infinite number of ways. For instance, if someone were looking for a babysitter, they may post an ad because they do not know how to find a babysitter on their own. If someone were looking for a roommate, it might be harder to figure out the motivation because there are so many different factors such as cost and location.
Craigslist is an online classified ads website. It has no limit on the number of posts per day, week, or month, but accounts are not set to expire. The account will be disabled if the user does not log in for a period of time.
It is possible that your account was closed due to inactivity. If you have not logged in for an extended period of time, it is possible that your account was closed. You can always create a new account if this is the case.

No, editing a post on Craigslist does not renew it. Once the post expires, it is deleted from the site. Editing a post does not have any effect on its expiration time. The posting will be removed after the time is up, whether the post has been edited or not.
