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.

I can see where the Board in Michael's area went there, but that may not be the same ruling everywhere.I could clearly come down on the other side, as to why are you sending such mailings if it is not in the expectation of compensation in real estate.The other issue is that disclosure of your agent staus is required even if you have no agency relationship, as in selling your own property that is not listed.That goes for all signs, letters, any communications with the public, like spam.
