Why Would A Member Say This?

Just a short blog post today!

I recently had a message from a wealthy affiliate member that just said "please unfollow me" which I respectfully carried out their wishes!

I have no idea why someone would not want to follow another Wealthy Affiliate member and also vice versa!

I normally try and follow a few new people every day, I don't get the chance to look at everyone's profiles, but I like to try and read as many profiles as possible as I find it highly interesting reading about other people's online experience in a positive way.

I always think the more that we can interact with others and help each other the more quickly we learn.

I also respect other people's wishes and if they do not want me to follow them I understand.

I am really thankful for the really friendly and helpful community here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Thank you for reading.

Roy

As odd as the request is, its nothing to worry about. Each to their own. Becoming a full time affiliate will require "networking" with other affiliates, it not only helps yourself it helps each other.

Hello Mark,

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog post. Yes, I hear you, very wise words indeed.

Wishing you a very good weekend.

Roy

I would just respect their wish, wish them well and think nothing more about it. It isn't something personal, because this member doesn't know you personally. Chalk it down to an odd request, smile and go on connecting with all the other wonderful people in WA. Much love Sara xx

Hello Sara,

Thank you for reading my blog post. I couldn't agree with you more, very wise words indeed.

Have a very good day.

Roy

You are very welcome. Have a wonderful day : )

bizarre :) unless they think you are stalking them around, commenting on what they comment on each time they say something, etc.

Hello Mark,

It certainly is bizarre and yes I hear what you're saying but I am definitely not!

Wishing you a great weekend.

Roy

I think I know who you are talking about. If my guess is correct, that person has problems and needs help (no irony intended).
They are by far the most negative individual to ever join WA.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for reading my blog post, it is appreciated. I always think it's a bit of a shame when someone is missing out on their full potential. One of the great features of Wealthy Affiliate is that we are here to help each other and encourage.

Wishing you a great weekend.

Could be any reason that you don't know - which is why should keep an eye out.
Are they keeping within the rules?

You know there have been members who have been spamming affiliate links and posting their business services which is against the rules in WA.

When I was new here, some guy tried to pitch me a beanie hat website, the summer was gone so any sales would mean they drastically dip. Not that I even wanted his website - he came to me and tried to sell.

Anyhow this is against rules.

One particular member argued that his affiliate links were WA affiliate links and thus they were valid.

I told him ANY affiliate links be it WA or some other is not allowed. He was cheating and so hopefully the numptyhead got kicked out.

I'm not totally saying the member is up to no good, he or she could be totally innocent of these matters, but I'm as curious as you.

If they break the rules then then need to be reported. Simple as.

If not, then happy days - must be a hermit or something.

Hello Amar,

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post, I do appreciate it.

Thankfully we are fortunate here at Wealthy Affiliate that most people are extremely friendly, I actually really feel that this person is missing out by not communicating with others.

Wishing you every success and a great day.

Roy

Like the old proverb says, "One hundred people, one hundred wonders."
With the other word. Who knows what his problem is. 😊

Thank you Joze, wise words and so true.

Had a great day and thank you for commenting.

Roy

I do not understand Why someone would ask you to un-follow them, maybe you posted something that they thought was offensive to them.
I am afraid these days your difference of opinion offends some people. Anyway you did the right thing by granting them their wish.

Hello Ruthlyn,

Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Maybe they read something that they didn't like, however, I'm guessing that others have also received this message. Something afloat in this world is to never to be offended or if we are, we need to forget it quickly and carry on regardless.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi - there is one particular member here who does not enjoy the perceived interaction with others, and regularly asks people not to follow him. He freely admits to being anti-social and has a comment on his profile asking people not to follow him.

Can you tell me his name so I CAN FOLLOW HIM

I will assume you mean that as a joke, rather than that you would wish to deliberately distress another member.

Of course, I wouldn't want anything to do with that particular WA member.

Lol!!!

I cannot imagine why one would unfollow another here. Perhaps a perceived personality clash, but that does not seem a reason to me. Perhaps a private message to ask why would be appropriate, or maybe not.

Hello David,

I hear what you're saying but probably a private message may not help, I think I just replied with the word "done"!

Enjoy your day.

Roy

Knowing there are always two sides to a story, this is impossible to comment on.

Hello Darlene,

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post, I'd appreciate it.

That's very true what you're saying and I agree, however, to receive a message that just says "please unfollow me" and nothing else goes against the Wealthy Affiliate principles of helping each other!

Have a great day.

Roy
