That filters out 99% of the spam.  

There were two identical posts by a new member that were marketing/spam content.

I am getting spammed with other must have products that will save me from the end of the world.

Craigslist produces too much spam and folks who aren't familiar with the area.

That's just annoying.People who are probably not worth my time:1) Anyone that says "I've been doing some wholesaling" (shut up, no you haven't, you've just been spamming people with no understanding of what you're actually doing).2) Anyone that constantly wants to put out lowball offers without having seen the property and sends over a vague sounding LOC letter from a vague sounding private money lender.3) People that demand to negotiate my commission prior to beginning a business relationship.Those are the basics...

Nice spam James....good way to get backlinks...at least for a few hours.

Thinking like a marketing agency is right approach in this, because trying to get people to not view you as spam, bur solving a problem. 

There is simply no way to pose the conversation naturally, and I can tell you that people's phones, texts especially are viewed very negatively as unwanted spam that invades the personal space.

. (-) hey this property still has the K&T electric hahaha (-) The cost to change all the windows in your house to double pane is (-) 70% of your SPAM received call is from wholesaler that would like to buy your property at no reasonable price hahaha..

Is that to get around being flagged as "spam?"
