If there's one thing I hate more than spam, it's when people get a pissy attitude when I tell them that I don't plus spam. Spam stands for "Stupid, Pointless, Annoying Message". No one likes stupid, pointless or annoying messages - let alone all of them put together. They're a waste of time, basically.
Lets begin with some common responses I get when I say that I don't plus spam.
-----------------
"it only takes 5 seconds for you to plus it"
Fair point, but you also wasted time by responding to my message. You would've saved time if you A) didn't spam me in the first place (read my profile), or B) didn't respond to my "sorry I don't plus spam!" message. You could've spammed other people instead of initiating a conversation with me. Besides, you're the one who asked me to do something. If I don't want to do it, just accept that I don't want to do it.
"just this once please" / "not this one time?"
No. If I plus you once, chances are high that you're returning to me later, to ask me to do it once more. No means NO. *slams door in your face*
"please (insert generic tengager name here) is spamming against me and i need to beat them"
I don't care. Spam someone else, because you're not convincing me to help you out. I don't care if (generic tengager) is spamming against you, regardless of who it is. I'm not picking teams in this battle.
"this person is using multis to plus their designs"
I DONT CARE. Do the same if you feel the need to. Tengaged is going downhill anyway.
"i'll plus your spam!"
Okay, if I'm not plussing anyone's spam, chances are VERY high that I don't have spam for you to plus. Good thinking though - this is a case of "if you scratch my back I'll scratch yours". It's fair, but no, I don't have any spam for you to plus. Thank you, though.
"i plussed your blog!"
Thanks, but that doesn't mean I have to plus you back. I didn't ask for you to plus my blog, you did it voluntarily. Besides, I blog stupid shit all the time (like this blog for example)
"who pooped in your coffee this morning?"
I don't drink coffee, so I can assure you that no one pooped in it. Thanks for asking though.
"no one likes a maggot"
Yeah, and no one likes annoying messages. And no one's gonna be plussing your spam if you call people maggots.
"i know your profile says you dont plus spam"
THEN LISTEN TO WHAT MY PROFILE SAYS???
"why dont you plus spam?"
I have my reasons. Don't worry about them.
"you're an asshole"
Remember when I asked for your opinion? Yeah, me neither.
---------------
THE CORRECT WAYS TO RESPOND TO "I DONT PLUS SPAM"
---------------
"no worries!"
You've acknowledged the fact that I don't plus spam. Maybe you messaged me by accident, or you didn't realize that I don't plus spam. Thank you for being understanding and kind about it. I hope you have a nice day, and that you find some people to plus your spam. Here, have a cookie.
"ok sorry"
Thanks for apologizing. Continue on with your day, no hard feelings.
"[nothing]"
Good response. Keep on doin' what you do. Don't worry about me. Cheers!
-------------
I haven't plussed spam for over 3 years and I don't make ANY exceptions. If I see several spam messages from you, I'm filtering you, because clearly, you're not listening to what I'm saying.
And sure, I may not be famous enough for you to remember that I don't plus spam, but if you message me 20+ times asking me to plus your spam, and I reply with the same thing over and over again, then you should figure out that I don't plus spam. Save your time, spam someone else.
Go ahead and neg this blog if you want to, but you won't change my mind.
