requester

You can mark items in S3 as requester pays, which means you don't get hit for bandwidth.

Could you allow the requester to provide a link to the pay wall where they get stuck?

It's custom, one off, strategic work at the requester's request, and deserves at least an acknowledgement.

This one simply makes it a requirement that comments be removed on request -- and it doesn't describe the standing of the requester or the basis of the request.

Shouldn't they also stop letting the requester know whether the requested email address corresponds to a Coinbase user?

She could have just denied the connection on linkedin and then made sure the requester provided all the required information to join the mailing list.

You should figure out websites that have affiliate programs, force the requester to choose a website, and when you end the text message, include the website to add some validity.

Political figures are commonly the second largest requester for domestic intel, only second to the secret police.

Some kind of mandatory disclosure of existing net worth could be an interesting twist, to make sure people aren't misled about the requester's existing financial situation.

The current situation is that there is no right answer: neither the seat-recliner nor the space-requester can be objectively said to be in the right, so who gets the space comes down to who is less polite and more assertive.
