David, is it time to consider not allowing "agencies" to post at all? It is very rare to see a legitimate agency post on any forum. It would seem that agencies have so much money that they could afford advertising and not depend on forums. I know there are a few people that post on this board that run agencies or agency like businesses and should be exempted on a case by case basis. By far though most "agency" posts are questionable if not outright scams. There are a percentage of the general public that will fall for these unquestionable businesses and I do not think that will change if you would not allow them to post though it would save a lot of bandwith.

Excellent idea, Darren. I wish I'd thought of that a long time ago. It would certainly have saved me a lot of headaches. I'll have to give this some serious thought. At first pass, I can think of no reason why I shouldn't do exactly as you suggest.

Thanks for the idea.
