What's the deal? Twice now threads on Contractor Management have gone missing. Somebody know something I don't?

We've had a couple members sign up with no other purpose than to discuss this company. To us that looks like SPAM and a lot of companies try to use this site to promote themselves in that way. Some companies do it themselves and other companies pressure their clients to come here and do it for them. That is why we have removed the other threads.

I don't know who removed it the first day, but I did the 2nd day.

It smelled very Fishy to me.

Usually, when a contractor wants to discuss a site like that, they mention the name, not the URL link, which you repeated in each and very one of your posts and the title now this time.

Now, with a 3rd day in a row, it really seems to confirm my suspicions.

Sorry if I confused anybody. Their name is Contractor Management. I even had to go back to my email to find it, had been referring to them by the url. The 1st poster was from Salt Lake and I'm in KC area. Found them on CL and wondered if anybody else knew anything. Someone had done a domain name search, but it's now gone as well.
So far I've gotten two leads, one of which I passed onto a colleague, and got no response from the other. They have responded to my second request for leads, but only get them M, W or F. Probably a low value lead source, but thought it worth a try. I had searched it out somewhat on other complaint sites, not finding anything at all, assuming it is a new enterprise. So I think to myself, where better to ask than CT. With some 500 posts here and on DrywallTalk, never occurred to me my post or thread would be taken as spam. Is that really what my inquiry looked like to you guys? And I suppose letting 4 days go by makes it even look more so but was really tied up all weekend and this is the first chance I've had to get back and check.
BTW, what is the story with the P&R section? I hear you need x# of posts to get on. But that's all I know and it doesn't come up in a search. Just curious. PM me if it's some secret or something.

Got two more leads this am. Both smell crappy. Will post results later, if that's okay. So far, it's not what I was told it would be.

Sounds Crappy. Why share crappy?!

Darren@Partners · 06-17-2009, 11:36 AM

Shared one of the first two. Won't be sharing anymore that don't at least call me back.

No response from either of todays 2 leads. All have been HOs, none from banks. Initially was told bulk of leads would be work orders with preset $ for a specific workorder and 9 months worth of work. At least its only $99 one time, not $2-3,000 per month.

Darren@Partners · 06-24-2009, 03:47 PM

Two more cold leads this week.

Where, what's the scenery look like? Are there gaps where the teeth use to be?

Darren@Partners · 07-13-2009, 12:01 AM

Maybe I've stumbled onto a new line of work. There are hunting and fishing guides....maybe I'll become a Gentlemens Club guide. First ten dances are on you, Chris.
