Do messages from unavailable people effect response rate?

[chrishyson]

I got a message yesterday from someone who is set to "unavailable" until Dec, and because of this I can't respond...I just get the "cannot send message" error. 

Will this mess with my response rate? 

 

On a side note, if someone is set unavailable and I can't message them, they shouldn't be able to send messages either imo. Also the error message should be more specific and tell users why we can't respond instead of just "can't send the message"

So yes, this does effect response rate! After a day or so my response rate dropped from 100% to 85% even though I couldn't even physically respond due to fiverr's system. I will be contacting support to fix this ASAP.

It wasn't spam though, it was someone asking for rates.

It will not effect your response rate.

That's never effect your conversation rate as fiver deactive such as spamming people
