Can you Actually "Spam" on Bigger Pockets ?

Question

Can anyone explain How one "Spams" on Bigger Pockets.  Been advised that I've done this but, obviously never was aware of said as my primary use of my Pro Membership is Market Place only

We have all been there and made the mistake. Don’t take it personal, you can just use the opportunity to grow. Just change up your ads and you will see more business. Some ideas are post properties that you think have great potential, or a great price, or would make a great flip and why. You can post statistics about your market and if it is a buyers or sellers market. You can post education on different areas and their benefits and drawbacks etc.

And the rest of the BP team do a great job on keeping this site all about helping others and providing education. They are giving us the opportunity to grow.

@Alex Hamilton, feel free to report those posts when you see them. With more than 3,000 posts every day, we just can't read them all, but reporting them is anonymous to the poster and alerts our support staff so they can go in and remove them.

Thanks for the response Mindy.  Looks like a number of people Posting in Market Place are violating the posting limits because, I see some of the same people promoting the same product or service very day or not more than every other day

Mindy Jensen · Answer

Thanks for asking, @Alex Hamilton. Our Marketplace Posting rules state a Pro member can post up to 2 times per day, but must wait 5 days before posting an ad for the same product, property or service.

18 posts in 10 days looking for clients would be a violation of the posting limits.

I'm not sure, check with a moderator, or it could be an automatic process based on a computer algorithm.

Alex Hamilton · Answer

Thanks Kelly, now I'm even more confused.  I was under the impression that as a Pro member, one could Post in Market Place twice a day, and could offer services to members seeking that which you offer.  I Assume it was a Moderator that threaten the Ban without a reason other then "Spamming", which I thought was sending e-mails to people you didn't know.  What is the TOS that was violated?

Kelly DeWinter · Answer

In 18 days you started 10 posts seeking clients in one form or another. Is it possible it violates the TOS ? or was the complaint from a member ? You could always ask a moderator for clarification.
