Twitter: How to stop pesky auto-DMs
One of the problems with online communities is member-to-member spam. THEY don’t see it as spam, but we do. And anything automatic that takes the ‘human or social’ element out of social networks, is spam, in my mind. Your mileage may vary. But if you do agree, here is a how to stop auto-DMs. Because…

- Wait for email
- Only when you are both following can you can “message” or DM – so DM @OptMeOut (doesn’t matter what you say)
- Unfollow @optmeout (do this so that you disappear off possible spam lists)
- Now Tweetlater won’t send you those pesky “thanks for following me, don’t forget to visit my HowToBeRich site“.

The only problem now is – it was helpful to watch who auto-DMd so you could quickly UNfollow them, and avoid yourself grief in the form of trivial spammy tweets, later. Ah well, can’t win ’em all.
