Abuse of Generous Celebrities or No Big Deal?

[guilder1st]

I agree with the majority here. If you receive a success, stop sending to the same address. It's just plain greedy, no matter what turn you give on it. And it really does lower the changes for other people to receive a response. If you want multiple items signed, then just put them with your first request, that way the celebrity can decide for themselves if they want to sign all of your items. Some celebrities have stopped signing because they were getting spammed, especially vv, it's the reason I hardly ever post one of my successes on here.

@ musicfan, please stop writing in Caps and underlining. A lot of people have mentioned this to you already. It's so annoying to read.

I also agree with what a lot of people have been saying here. I think that once you have got a success from somebody then it is just greedy if you send for another one. But what annoys me more than anything is when people send a ridiculous number of items to be signed, I have seen this particularly with Robert Pattinson. People see how kind and generous he is and abuse that.

When it comes to VV, I think it's ok if there is a celebrity doing say a week of concerts to send to a few of the dates to ensure the best chance of getting a success (maybe you're not 100% sure if the venue will pass on your letter or if you don't think it will arrive in time), but I would limit that to 2. But I think once you have received a success, if you send again then that's spamming the celebrity and abusing their generosity

I agree with most of the posts above about writing too often. My rule of thumb is never writing to a celebrity more than once in a year's time, and never sending more than three smaller items (trading cards), or two larger items (photos). We have to respect the signer's kindness for doing this for us.

I agree with most of what was said here. I think it's abuse when someone keeps sending to the same address again and again. I could understand when you keep sending to increase your chances of getting even something back, but if you already have the person's autograph, then I don't get it. I hardly ever send to the same person twice, if I already have their autograph, I've done it few times. If I don't have their auto, it's only logical I keep trying. Usually I send 1-3 of 4x6 photos.

This is what you should have written:

I'm not using caps. I used one underline on one word.


That's what people are talking about. Stop capitalizing every word.

I don't see why you can't just type normally, it's actually easier since you don't need to hit Shift/Caps for every word.
