russflex Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Here is a situation I’m dealing with. I get spam messages and then I report them like I’m supposed to so it doesn’t affect my response rate. But then, a few days later, my response rate suddenly drops anyway. I ask customer support about it and they give me the standard lecture about how I need to report the messages as spam (even though I clearly told them in my message that I did that). Anyone dealing with this kind of nonsense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angkasaofficial Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi @russflex Thank You for sharing. I think You’re not alone. I also got a message like that. But You must reply it first, just say it with Your quick response answer, that his/her request doesn’t align with the service that You offer. Then You can continue to report it as a spam 🙂 I hope this can help You… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never works out because it still gets counted against my response rate. Then I tell customer service about it and they tell me to just report it next time. But, I’m still getting problems with the response rate. I can’t win either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russflex Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 May I know how long you see the message marked as a spam? has it been sent since the beginning? or after a while / minute / hour?It was a new message that was already marked as spam when I looked at it.

angkasaofficial Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 It was a new message that was already marked as spam when I looked at it.In your case I do not have any ideas, maybe some friends here can help you, or you can wait for answers from customer support. Because in my previous case, I saw the message as a normal message, and after a while, it was marked as spam automatically, even though I did not report it.

mariokluser Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It’s an old bug. You have to reply and then report it.If it already is marked as spam, you have to unlock it, reply and report it again.This is the only way not have your response rate effected. At least in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I agree with mario. However sometimes it still causes your response rate to go down no matter what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahulkajla1 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I reply to spam messages. I just say “Not Interested” or something else depending on type of spam/scam message. Then I report it again. In so many years, my response rate never ever dropped. Always 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokluser Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 My reply always says ‘Your spam has been reported’, what probably stops them from going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fingers get tired. Just “Hi” is enough for spammers 😃 Maybe in future I will just write “h” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in my experience.I’ve had my response rate drop a couple of times, when I knew it was inaccurate. CS reset my profile, and it went back up.Here’s what I was told by CS:12-13-16. "Our developers have been working hard to provide a quality resolution, but sometimes the response rate can become inaccurate, especially if you receive any spam."3-3-17: “Our Technical team is working on a permanent resolution for the response rate, but if you think it’s inaccurate like you though now, you can contact us for assistance or clarification.”Sounds like a known bug to me. 🙂It’s an old bug.I agree, @mariokluser.

But that’s just me.I totally agree with that, Mario! I’ve just found it is difficult to get programmers to admit to the existence of a bug. Notice they didn’t actually admit to a bug being the problem. Hence the “change your behavior” responses that are so frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 So there is this response rate bug and the 4.7 bug which both are included in our metrics which our levels depend on. :roll_eyes:At least CS will correct the response rate bug when we ask them to.
