We have witnessed an attempt by yet another agent today to use this board for plugging his business. The board's hosts have ruled in that past that this is improper. I hope they will continue this policy.
I welcome -- and I'm sure so do others -- participation by real estate agents, who are in a unique position to spot trends and make good recommendations. But if they only plug their own business, they don't belong here. Four plugs in a single day is a bit too much by an agent, all of whose total of six posts are plugs.

Especially when you consider this paragraph in the Terms Of Service:

Real Estate Agents and other businesses will not advertise their services nor solicit business in their posts. Create a free business profile by going to Business Profile Addition and fill out your forum profile instead. Do not include links to your websites, MLS listings, etc. in your posts. Do not try to push the envelope by attempting to hide your intentions. Do not solicit business by PMs. Show your knowledge about the area and help people and you will get leads naturally. Real estate agents should join the usergroup for them here: //www.city-data.com/forum/profi...editusergroups. It will set your user title and add an icon next to your name, so you will get free advertising with your posts.
