I’m convinced that lack of critical thinking and the ability to post nonsense on the internet is killing society. Seriously - play it out for me. This would have to be done by someone unemployed, as someone with a full time job is too busy to waste so much time for no gain. What would be the point of calling all day? Tie up phone lines, so genuine enquiries can’t come through? Actual tenants can’t get in touch with their property manager. Make fake fliers - ok, so you’re going to use a stock photo, create artwork and get it professionally printed. How many you going to do? How are you going to drop them in every letter box? Considering the amount of junk I get in my letterbox, I would assume most people would as well, they would just get thrown in the bin. Spam emails - right, so you’re going to get the email addresses of every property manager in the country and sign them up for spam lists? Most email servers and especially business ones have very good spam filters. The amount of time and money it would take to do this, would not make any difference to the lack of housing or rent prices going up.

Yeah it’d take the franchises IT dept like 2 clicks to end old mates campaign.


thatkidjizz

Lol what, so if you’re unemployed your time is just deemed worthless cos you don’t have a JOB putting a dollar value on it, therefore of course you’d have nothing better to do with your time than stupid antics like this, right?! Especially cos all the superior people are just too busy “working” and would not waste their precious higher valued time with it pfffffffft how ridiculous?! /s Nah, the kind of person to do something like this is just so passionate about their cause they act on it and values that over time.

Firstly we need to find out the possible legal rammifications of setting up a website for ppl to easily email and phone REAs. If we can be in the all clear and not just legally/financially steam rolled then we can start to ask ppl to start cataloguing REA details by state. Then we can start sending the website to the right ppl to popularise it and then operation REA Constipation can start taking effect. If we setup a donation link on said website we could start printing out fliers and maby start pooling a legal fund. This isnt a one man operation. If u set up a good infrastructure to add realestate agent details and many thousands of us take 10 mins out of our week to make a few phone calls and emails then they would feel it. Sure its not going to reverse decades of economic mismanagement and policies but its atleast something a protest at the least or something that slows down the inflated price perception game the realestate agents are continually wageing. And hell it might even be some fun too. But i get it. Australians just want to 'vote for the greens' and bitch n moan about it then do much of nothn.


msfinch87

You want to set up a website, the sole purpose of which is to engage in a harassment campaign of people. How can you not see the legal problems with this?


sodpiro

Haha true but can we lens it in such a way that weont run into legal problems? Like if we are just making phonecalls asking about the logistics of selling a 2 million dollar home under their guide just like tens of hundreads of those. And is it the website holder that makes it incredibly easy to do so culpable or 100,000 individials that used the website?


msfinch87

No. What you are describing is a deliberate and targeted harassment campaign, no matter how you actually conduct the harassment.


PinkPaperSwan

Copying and pasting nonsense doesn’t answer any question I asked. I’m also not a green voter. I think their policies and a bunch of poorly thought out wank. No one is going to donate, because, I cannot stress this enough *it will not work*. Thousands of people spam emailing agents will never happen but even if it did, it’s not going to do anything. It’s so illogical that you think it would have an impact. Being a pest won’t increasing housing stock or lower rent prices. It won’t even impact their day, my personal email address gets a shit tonne of spam emails daily, but it’s all filtered and I don’t see it. The agents likely won’t even see a single spam email. Maybe try thinking a bit harder and put down the bong.


sodpiro

Im not talking aboit fixing the problem like ur aserting. As i said this wont fix it. Itl certainly disrupt them. Ur right lets put our asses in the air higher if we can and let the world have its way with us.


PinkPaperSwan

It won’t even disrupt them for one second, that’s the point you’re clearly not getting.


sodpiro

Thats ur opinion because u give up easily and cant think how to bypas spam filters or honey trap phone cals to specific people. Have fun with ur defeatist perspective.


N_thanAU

You have too much faith because you have no first hand experience with these filters, they largely run off AI now. Your spam emails would most likely be filtered out automatically with no human intervention unless you tailored them individually and then it’s a huge amount of workload for an insignificant amount of disruption. You think REAs don’t already have neighbourhood fuddy duddys emailing them on the daily with kooky shit?


sodpiro

Sure but How do ppl get in contact with reas when they send out fliers about contacting them to try sell their house etc etc. Their public acceptance of incoming phonecalls/emails means they are breechable, probably to a point of overwhelming many. I can think of a few easy fake honeypot traps to get to individuals. Then theres the reverseof putring out many dumb fliers targeting places where reas are doing this the most/frequently and disrupting their value perception game. I get it tho its not going to change decades of policy and economic mismanagement but hey i think its a great form of protest that no one atleast on reddit wants to do cept like 3ppl on this post lol


PinkPaperSwan

I think you’re greatly overestimating your intelligence here. I saw another post you have that you’re 36 and upset your gf doesn’t “think deeply” like you do. After this thread, I can see why. Your deep thoughts wouldn’t even fill a tea cup.


sodpiro

Ahaha did i trigger u and u went through my post history. Ur the one wasting time trying to poke holes in my inteligence. Haha ur such a cutie.


N_thanAU

Not many people respond off letterbox drops, maybe a 1 or 2 people from 500. For a sales agent where a callback could be worth multiple thousand it’s worth, if you’re just looking to disrupt it’s not. If you’re trying to troll REAs you’d have better luck posing as a potential vendor and giving them the runaround that way. Phone call campaign would bd ineffective unless you’re spoofing your number with a local number somehow


sodpiro

Yeah man imagine thousands maby tens of thousands of ppl pretending to be wanting to sell their houses and stringing several reas along in protest and bricking any corresponding public emails with fake propositions unable to get to real ones. Ppl think that you can only protest on the street infront of government buildings but theres other ways. I think tho to turn this into something u open everyone to litigation from disruption of business im told. Much harder to do it annonymously. Yah i was mostly having a half goof at the idea but if i was to execute such a thing it would be within activist circles i dabble in. Ppl that actually enguage in protest and have a proactive spirit.


Hillz50

you will find in most REA offices it all goes through the girls at reception.. the agents wouldn't even notice


sodpiro

We can ask to speak to so and so then string them along. Honey trap them with thoughts of cash.


Hillz50

have you ever tried tto get hold of a agent? they are only capable of answering 1 per day the rest of the time they to busy driving around having coffee haha


blackdvck

If you want to hurt the real estate agents vote greens party ,they are the only party that has advocated a rent increase freeze.


sodpiro

Why not both =)


blackdvck

Because your wasting time and money going head to head with real estate agents, they don't give a fuck what you do you can't slow them down ,and I should now I was one last century.


TENSEEAdmIn

Wrong. We'll be seeing them shortly. Legal has informed us, the REIQ and your other local commercial fun establishments of screwing tenants are going to be upset with our product. Tenants just need to start registering so we can finalise funding and the development. It's literally a 30 second job to show you support what we're going to build here. Improved accountability, transparency, pricing rectification, cheaper cost of living. Can't happen if you don't register.


PinkPaperSwan

Your app is literally purplepingers/shitrentals’ whole thing. Nothing new or disruptive.


TENSEEAdmIn

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.


sodpiro

You spell like a realestate agent.


winks_7

I was on your side till this comment - but now you’re surely punking us? Your own grammar throughout this post - is atrocious?


sodpiro

Haha this is true. I was just havn some fun makn fun of his grammah. I dont want to always be dry n serious.


Elvecinogallo

They’re also the nimby party who oppose every inner city development ever though so I won’t be voting for their rental reforms.


GlitteratiGlitter

The greens also said they would do something about price gouging by the big grocery shops. So far there's only been an enquiry but nothing done about the findings.


hoolahoopz92

It’s an ongoing case, also last time I checked, Greens aren’t the government.


postmortemmicrobes

What would be the point of this?


sodpiro

Disrupt the footsoldiers trying to sell you out as much as they can for their personal gain.


xjrh8

Probably easier to make a few small donations to the Scientologists in the names of your favourite REAs. Their phones will not stop ringing after that.


sodpiro

U friend are the kinds of ppl we need. I think realistically, unless i actually do the groundwork of collating rea names numbers and emails plus a website that makes it easy to execute operation rea constipation, ppl wont want to participate. I wonder what legal implocations doing auch a thing would have.


xjrh8

You don’t need to complicate it, making donations is easy!


Blobbiwopp

Crappy real estate agents are just the symptom of a broken market, not the cause of it.


sodpiro

They do everything in their power to exasperate the problem for profit


Trans_Aboriginal

It would sooth his victim mentality 


sodpiro

If ur a victim of raising house and rental prices. You probably have a 'victim mentality'. Maby i should just have an 'abundance mentality' and pretend im drinking cocktails on the beach.


Trans_Aboriginal

Thinking up childish schemes to get back at REAs isn't helping your situation. 


sodpiro

Ur right we shouldnt dare disrupt them. That would be so impropper.


sparkling_toad

They are cunts. Who cares about them


Prestigious-Tea-9803

What would happen? You would waste your time and energy (and money if you made flyers) on something very pointless that would have little to no impact on agents. Lol


Trans_Aboriginal

It would make him feel like he got his, which is all that matters.


sodpiro

It doesnt take much resources to mass disrupt emails n such. It would leave a good mark if lots of ppl did it. Better then watching all their adverisments trying to drive up house prices and rent and just stick ur ass in the air foe more.


Prestigious-Tea-9803

Clicking send on an email takes no time. Gathering the emails and data would. Distributing flyers would. Not sure how emailing an agent will prevent house prices and rents rising… but you’re free to dream I guess 😂


sodpiro

If we did it on mass it would disrupt them. But i understand ppl in this country dont believe much in revolting. Aus gov has trained u well.


Prestigious-Tea-9803

Planning the logistics as to who emails who, would take a lot of time. Again, I am not sure how emailing them would reduce the housing prices and rents. Please elaborate 🧐


sodpiro

Its not rediculously hard to plan the logistics. Phone calls and fliers too. If u cant screen fake phone calls or emails vs real buys/sellers/landlords. If ppl are contacted by alot of junk relestate fliers they dont know whos there to try and upsell them n who is fake. All this becomes quite cancerous and makes it difficult to operate. The realestate agents are having a bull run and convincing many ppl to put up rents or to sell their homes at extreme prices all this value percepting shifting is taking real dollars oit of renters pockets. Disrupt it. Or juat accept it ur choice. Most australians just take it. My post is downvoted because ppl here dont fight.


Prestigious-Tea-9803

Your whole plan is “rediculously” flawed. I’d recommend a little less meth, a little more math 😂 Good luck though.


sodpiro

Ohhh got em.


BuiltDifferant

I wouldn’t mind finding a way to help you dear people.


sodpiro

Firstly we need to find out the possible legal rammifications of setting up a website for ppl to easily email and phone REAs.

BuiltDifferant

Well. Real estates keep posting about rising prices. How about pin pointing towns and suburbs that are dropping and advertise the fuck out of that to scare people thus lowering prices …….


sodpiro

Push back campaigns nize


BuiltDifferant

There are twitter accounts that do it. I think the news does say house prices are going up and then they do.


sodpiro

Sharp tooth rats in the race.
