Agents spamming the Home Q& A

It seems that a lot of agents use the home Q&A section for spamming.

In my area I keep seeing the same agent post the same thing over and over to various home owners. It goes like this..." Hi nice home. If you are interested in using the blah blah blah services of my blah blah blah broker call me Agent Blah Blah Blah"...you get the picture.

Let me ackowledge that I too am an agent, but I refuse to post a phony "question" which is really just a pitch for a listing over and over. To me that is just annoying and beats the purpose of the Q&A section.

I really honestly like to answer people's questions if I can help them and NOT pitch my business spiel and try to solicit business.

I think it good really degrade the purpose of the home Q&A if agents just continue to spam it and use it to solicit business.

Anyone else annoyed by this?

Urban ATL Agent -

I guess, all of us are annoyed by these spammers. They are more of a nuisance than help. You can let us know about these spammers by flagging their posted "questions". Once we get your flag, we can start initiating the appropriate action.

Thank you for being a concerned Zillow user, we really appreciate it.

Michael,

I flagged all the posts I thought were spam like solicitations. I'm sure whoever has to sort through all those flags is hating me right now.

Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

Yes I agree with you. I see the same agents with their "ZPAM". It is annoying.

Thanks for your comments. We try to clean up spam on Q&A. We don't allow agents (or anyone) to repetitively post the same thing over and over. I agree -- it's annoying, and unhelpful. Please continue to flag content that you find spammy -- we look at every single thing that has been flagged (and most stuff that hasn't been). - spencer (from Zillow)

We have removed all of the SPAM that was posted by the agent on the Home Q&A of houses in the GA area. We have also sent an e-mail to the agent, warning him that should he ever do it again, his account will be disabled. It is after all, Home Q&A, not Home SPAM & A.

Let us all help each other keep Zillow an informative place. A big "Thank You" to all our responsible users!
