Guidelines for campaigning
If you're encouraging people to use WriteToThem.com to talk to their representatives about a particular issue, there are some particularly important points to keep in mind. Note that most of these are essential, not just handy hints: wilfully ignoring them will be construed as an abuse of our service, and will automatically trigger filters which will 'freeze' your messages. Plus, the only effect it'll have on representatives is annoying them and that won't do your campaign any good.
Spamming lots of representatives with near-identical messages is definitely bad behaviour in our book. Please be aware that if you do this, most of the duplicate messages will be filtered out automatically and will never get to the representatives. We will let all the people who sent identikit messages know that their messages have been blocked, and we will tell them that it is because you broke our terms and conditions. All you will achieve is irritation amongst your own supporters. (More information.) Instead, provide a short list of points which people should address in their own words. Messages written by individuals will never be blocked by our systems unless they are clearly abusive or break our conditions of use.
If you're gathering the troops by email, only gather those who have already committed to your cause. In the past, we've seen people using professional spammers (sorry, "email marketers") to get the word out. Once again, this kind of practice is only going to irritate people. We don't want to be associated with that kind of behaviour, thankyouverymuch.
