@Max Versteppen - your answer does not help nor is to the point as it looks like its more spam marketing your signature websites

I don't want to be viewed as spam on the forums, so I'll just shoot you a message on BP :)

Dorkin doesn't axe me for spamming the boards...LOL

In reality, you should only use Zillow as a pre-screen (if they already paid for it and are spamming area landlords with their application) and when some actually wants the house run a real background check. 

You and your email ID quickly become spammers and get sent directly into the trash, and that can be done without downloading the spam to the computer.Lists are rarely up to date - - I still see email to an email address I dropped 7 years ago. 

They may be inactive, but they may contain info that other members reference, they should always stay.If my vote button worked with my current Linux setup, I would have to give Will a +1 on that.Not only do I agree with Will, but many of those older posts are chock full of valuable nuggets - so much so that many of them are part of the link compilations that you'll find I have posted in various threads.And to add to what Will stated, I would like to see that discussions that have taken place not get classified into the "removed threads" archive where they can no longer be viewed - just delete the spam posts from the threads and lock the thread from further spam.

Hey michael no email checked spam, and junk folder.

Steve Babiak -- Those 20k posts that aren't being included in the count include spam, garbage posts, and all the garbage that we throw in our virtual BP trash basket.

I don't play in the residential space.I do get spammed by (Wholesalers) e-mailing me these (Awesome) deals (residential stuff).99 percent of the time they do not turn out to be awesome but duds.If you are a broker ALL the real estate agents activities that have to do with real estate falls under the brokers supervision.The broker can dictate with an IC agreement what the agent pays for with each activity and how much and even if an activity is not allowed by their company.Many newer agents are desperate to do a deal just like newer wholesalers because they do not have much money to survive.Doing a deal properly falls way to "I need the money at all costs" before I go under kind of stuff.This presents a huge liability to the brokerage.It just isn't worth it.I would say a wholesale deal has just as many hurdles as a real estate listing by a broker.Some deals are tougher and some are easier.You have to get a bunch of steps to happen to get it across the line.Some might say one is easier than the other but I believe that comes down to experience and knowing how to solve problems and get the deal to close versus a new person messing up a few steps or not being able to problem solve on a deep level.

Some guy also spammed that thread and got his account closed and his posts hidden by the moderation team.
