MODERATORS
Are you responding literally "stop" or are you editorializing like "please stop for the love of Satan"? The former is supposed to be seen by the system and you're supposed yo be automatically unsubscribed. The latter goes to a person and that person may try to engage you. At least, when I've done text-banking, that's how it worked. A less reputable system may try to engage you regardless. If you get sent to a person it's also up to the person to decide if and how they talk to you. If I saw something that made it clear the person didn't want to talk, I would tell the system to unsub them, others might try to be persistent.
That’s how it SHOULD work. But I’ve replied with just stop or unsubscribe depending on their chosen system’s keyword. I just received a nearly identical message from a different number. Maybe Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries were just determined at that time, but it definitely wasn’t handled the way it should have been.
