This is a question that some people should really ask themselves. What is an accidental spammer, you ask? Well, you already know what a spammer is, right? Someone who plagues you with e-mails, faxes, voicemails, etc. to do something, try something or buy something and usually, let’s face it, you just aren’t that interested in what they are selling right?

An accidental spammer is someone who, has their heart in the right place, but fails to realize that they are spamming you with requests through Twitter, Skype, IM, or e-mail and they just don’t let up! These accidental spammers don’t realize that the approach they are taking with you, is spamming, but in reality, it is.

You can try to ignore these requests, turn off your Skype, IM, Twitter app, etc. but then, you are taking the chance of alienating people that you actually want to hear from!

What can be done about accidental spammers then. Not much, unless you want to take the time to address each and every one that come through, but then, you might just be enabling them to feel like they can contact you that way from now on.

By the way, this post was prompted by an accidental spammer (in case you haven’t figured that out by now). Bottom line, instead of becoming an accidental spammer, when someone doesn’t respond back to you right away addressing your request, take the hint and move on. The person you are trying to get their attention might just have other things going on that prevents them from addressing you right now. If the interest is there, be assured, they will respond eventually.

Comments to this post are welcome. Try not to spam me though, ok?
