The respondents actually cared enough one way or another to participate.

it is non-random and prone to bias unrepresentative of target population
It is a sample in which the respondent decides whether or not to participate. A typical situation would be when a pile of questionnaires is left for people to fill in - if they like. Only those so inclined will do so.

The sample should be selected randomly.
A sample is Unbiased if everyone in the sample have an equal chance of being selected
