This Really Annoys The Fuck Out Of Me On ICQ...

[Lee]

You get someone who isnt on your ICQ list sending you a message and it says is this...

hello

What the fuck am i supposed to do with 'hello'.

I mean at least tell me who the hell you are.

Just like every other message like this i get, its getting ignored, if people dont know how to handle basic communication skills, they shouldnt be allowed to use chat clients at all $0.02

I think the problem is that it's likely to be spam. I used to get those all the time and everytime I'd reply with a um..hello? SPAMtastic things would happen

Ben,

Thats the problem, on the occasions where i do actually reply to the message it isnt spam, just some dumb schmuck who doesnt know how to start a conversation about getting a link trade, content deal, traffic trade started properly LOL

In fact, to memory ive only ever had about 5 chat client spams LOL

LOL I get those all the time, but its mostly just people who are a bit shy or maybe have english as a second language. I just answer them saying "how can I help you?" that usually starts a conversation.

cheers,

Yeah, some people say hello just to see if you're there before typing out a bunch of stuff that might not be read. If nothing else just write "Hello" back and then see what happens.

s'what I do. Usually regret it, but once it was a job come a-calling. So it's worth it all to me.
