How should a sender respond when someone asks not to receive further messages?
Stop contacting the person through that conversation. Do not create another account, ask someone else to relay a message, or switch channels to get around the request. A short acknowledgment is enough if a reply is appropriate; after that, leave the conversation closed. If you believe the exchange violates a platform rule, use its official safety or reporting process if one is available. This is practical communication guidance, not legal advice or a claim about a specific BSD button or opt-out workflow.

Treat the request as a boundary
A request not to receive further messages is a clear signal to stop that contact path. Do not debate, bargain, send repeated explanations, or try a different account to reach the same person.
If you acknowledge it, keep the reply short
A brief acknowledgment can confirm that you understood. It should not become a new conversation or ask the person to justify the request. Then stop sending messages.
If you need to report a safety concern, use the platform’s official process where available. Do not confuse a request to stop with permission to move the conversation elsewhere.
A request in a private conversation
Imagine someone replies, “Please don’t message me again.” The respectful response is to stop the conversation. A new account, another private channel, or a third person should not be used to continue the same contact.

Can I use a different account if they stop replying?
No. A no-contact request is not an invitation to try another account or channel. Stop contacting them.
