Great advice, thank you. 

[Evan Murnighan]

Thanks for the detailed advice Mindy!  We sure appreciate all your posts.

You're awesome, thanks Mindy!

Is there a number or e-mail to reach a moderator or admin.  I'm a paid Pro Member who has been Ban from the use of the Forum, Market Place and essentially the Web Site.  I answered a forum question by mistake with information about my company.  Forgetting the fact the question was not from someone answering my Marketplace post.  Payments are still being taken from my Bank Account.  If I cancel membership. will that stop the deductions from the Bank immediately since I was immediately Ban from the use of the Bigger Pockets Site?

[Mindy Jensen]

@Alex Hamilton , it looks like this ban has been lifted. Let me know if you have further issues.

Mindy,

There is an "Open Forum Trap"  I'm told I was caught in it a half dozen times according to some people at Bigger Pockets.  The trap goes like this:   Someone ask a question on bigger pockets like, "anybody know of a good property manager in Baton Rouge?" I'm in Baton Rouge and enter my company info.  Some even ask for contact info in a message, I just had to stop responding.

[Neomi Riley]

Thanks for the great advice!

[Tremayne Guest]

[Leann W.]

Glad to know you're on the job!

[Michael Martin]

Mistake made in answer to Market Place advertisement.  Question asked in Forums and gave answer in Forums by mistake

[Nickolas Csikortos]

Thanks for the info. I just joined and am excited about this opportunity to get into the real estate market. 

[Corey Melkonian]

Thank you Mindy.

[Ron Parasole]

can ads be put into the marketplace from your phone app?  Seems there’s loss of function using the app which sucks because I’m always on the road unlike my office ;)

[Farhad Rahmani]

Mindy,

Thanks for the great info. Is there a video or webinar on how to navigate and use the forums to help beginners like me? 

[Ethan Spielvogel]

Thanks Mindy...not ‘shiny’ new to investing, but I’m still learning.  Hope the critics will go easy.

Appreciate your cautionary words.

Since the marketplace update, are posts on here still counted as 'posts?'  I've advertised a couple that didn't show up in my post feed.
