Here are some general guidelines, to avoid such situations: Other members may add to this list if they wish.
.
1. Yes, we all would like Ratings & Follows. It is natural. Without advertising and marketing, nothing happens in this world. We have to be practical. If one or two people do not advertise, then it does not mean that the rest...
more... of us have to follow that model. To be successful, we have to be smart and sometimes shameless in letting other people know - most successful people in the world have followed this route - starting from Thomas Edison himself.
.
2. Before soliciting Ratings, please clear it up with your group of friends if it is OK or not to send them requests. This is just courtesy.
.
3. If a few people are not OK with it, then it is FINE. People have many other things to do in life, and have a RIGHT not to be bothered. In this case, create a sub-group of friends who are fine with receiving your Rating requests.
.
4. If you are on the receiving side of unwanted, bothersome requests, then please be BOLD and let the sender know that you are busy with other things, and would like not to be bothered. This is FINE. There will be NO offence. You have a RIGHT not to be disturbed. These days, social media is such that, if you are not bold, then you will not get any useful work done.

5. Pl. do not paste Whatsapp screenshots in IRI.

Thanks.
