Why are some offers for help considered "Violation and Soliciting" while others are accepted???

If it crosses the line of being compensated, or asking for business, it crosses the line of spamming.\n\nIf this is not policed, soon it will become an online Advertizing campaign, instead of a question and answer board.\n\nI do Real Estate and Loans.  I answer questions sometimes in those sections.  But I don't ask for business.  Many times I don't even say it's my profession.  \n\nWe all want to make money in life. But this forum is not the place to ask.  At least not advertently.

umm, im a bit confused, if you could clarify your question that would be great, thanx. Or, is this just some more advertising? isnt that spam?

It is legal, banks or any other seller cannot discriminate because of age or sex or ethnicity, otherwise it is up to their discretion.  A cash offer is a much stronger offer as many loans fall apart before they get to the closing table

Well, it is supposed that Y! investigates first the violation, then gives the notice but I don't think that this much is accurate, see a few days ago I reported somebody that was advertising one of those win-free-money sites and obiously I let knew the asker that I was the one giving the report by just answering "Reported scammer!" the next day I got a violation notice stating that I wasn't giving any question or answer to the asker when this wasn't even a question!!! I try to contact Y! abuse reports via mail to know if they have erased that advertisement and didn't get any satisfactory reply at all.\nThe point is that you are not the only one suffering with reports, if you wanna act like a good participant and report any violation it might come to bite your back too, so what I think it's best is that you be very careful with what you're saying around here, adress people very gently don't get yourself involved into too controversial issues or topics and just answer what is necessary ("where do I find this?" "here's a link that might help you"), and finally if you post a report don't let know the person asking or answering with a violation to know by any means that you are responsible for that report.\nGood Luck dude!!!

This is usually a local ordinance.  So you need to check with your local city or township officials. Plus, as most businesses are private property, the business has the right to forbid solicitation, which includes fliers and cards.  (Most do).

Either somebody is asking you to add or they haven't accepted your request for adding.

All offers must be submitted.  Depending on the specific circumstances, the agent to whom you spoke likely violated state licensing law and NAR Ethics.  You may want to speak to your state department of licensing.

although its anoying, you would most definetly do it yourself if you were trying to attract new customers to your business, at the end of the day most people will only buy if the deal is really good or they are currently after that particular product or service at the time of the call or e-mail, so for 90% of people contacted the answer will probably be no or please call back another day so its probably not ethical for them anyway.

No such solicitations, or invites of a purely personal nature, or requests for e-IDs, are permissible in Yahoo! Answers’ Questions or Answers. \n...And please, this is NOT a chat room, for making contacts !\nSomebody or other is bound to report you for abuse, and misuse !

I see nothing wrong with the site.  If the recommendation was sincere, I don't think anyone should be offended.\n\nOn the other hand, if you were to say "hey lard  a s s  check out this sight if you can get your fat fingers to type one letter at a time".  I can see that approach offending someone.\n\nI could easily liken this to a tool.  Tools are normally used as tools, but all too frequently they are used as weapons.  So, I guess the bottom line is you.  Are you using a tool or have you converted it to a weapon?

Firstly... previously they were in ignorant bliss not having read the original offer... binned as a circular/junk mail\nSecondly... Once you have removed the offer of something free or at a large discount, the ignorance evaporates and is replaced by envy... 'why the F*** haven't I got it?.. her next door has' \nThirdly... its called Human nature (unfortunately!)

it is against their rules, but they don't really detect violators (unless things have changed lately)... my hunch is that gross violators will be stopped, but the occasional, small-time "shill bidder" they don't worry about

This sounds like a scammer trying to justify what they do

Is this really a question or is it a solicitation?

This wouldn't be a solicitation would it? Have you read the rules here?

It's a violation of the guidelines to advertise here.
