In trying to keep CT clean from blatant advertisers, we get lots of one time posters starting threads such as this one:
http://www.contractortalk.com/f57/subcontractors-needed-106701/
This exact issue has been up for discussion in the staff section on and off for quite awhile-especially since PP has it's own section now, but we need some input from you.
If these types of posts help you make connections...and money, we are all for it. However, since the are no PP guys as mods, we'd like a bit of input.
Half the time we just trash them, depending on which mods are on duty and active, but others we leave.
Thoughts from the PP pros?
Thanks!

is a perfect example of what we are talking about.
Few posts, No company name, No contact name, No address, they do have a contact number, no email address, no pricing matrix or discount listed.
The overwhelming majority of the things that are required to be done by potential subs are fixed fee things, thus their pricing matrix should be posted.
These companies want potential subs to go thru ALL the paperwork, insurance requirements, etc... before ever letting them know what they would be making for the posted services. There's a reason for it and this is what you guys are hopefully going to address.
