Is it just me or does anyone else get invited to groups in waves? Like I can go a solid two months without one message and then within a week I'll get 14. Why is that?

EDIT: Sorry if this is the wrong forum but its not an advertisement and its not about any Bungie game.

Did you happen to have posted a lot or appear more active when you got the PMs? Because if they can see you, they'll spam you. I can't think of anything else; I've never had anything like that happen to me.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Lately, I get 1-3 invites per day on an extremely consistent basis, though that's way down from a few weeks ago.

Don't send me group invites.

I usually get like one a week.

I usually get about one every two weeks. Apparently people don't want me in their groups

Yeah they usually come in waves and from the same groups. Some cases it has to do with these people (Not being disrespectful in this sense) being promoted to "Higher ranking status" in these groups just by getting members. They just find random people to recruit. They just paste messages to like everyone they see. I assume it happens when a group mod goes "We need people to recruit to get our number of members higher". I shouldn't assume. But I do. Sometimes I get invited to a group I am already in. Ocassionally I am invited into a group by the same person more than once. It can be a pain. But then at other times (Like now) I am invited a lot less.

The best thing to do is just ignore these group invites unless you really want to join. I only join groups I know I will interact in. If I join a group and notice I do not interact, then I just leave.

I honestly can't say I have this problem, maybe you just attract the wrong attention by default. You know, like a genetic fault. ;-)

That's what happens when you're the founder of a group with almost 34 hundred members.

I get a bunch whenever a thread I post in gets moved from the Septagon/Underground to the H2/H3/Flood forums.
I'm looking at you, Jim. I got four last time. FOUR. From the SAME GUY. GAH!
PS: I hate invites.

I get them when I post, so it happens to me in bursts as well. I lurk too much to get very many invites

  • 07.31.2007 9:28 PM PDT

I logged into Bungie.net and all I got was this lame member rank.

Which is half the reason why I stopped posting as much.

To be honest I don't hate invites. I like to be invited and often check out groups but I have reached my 25 group limit so I often regretfully tell the sender that I cannot join. What I hate are invites that are kiss assey like "You are such an active, great member and I'd love it if you'd join my group" and "Wow, nice level 36 in team slayer, we could use somebody with your Halo talents" these invites annoy me when they come from somebody random who you can tell isn't being sincere!

I have probably invited people with lines like that in the past but have learned from experience not to. I have adopted a new invite style which is more of a group description laid out as a leaflet. An ad instead of a begging request.

So... anyone wanna join my group? ;-)

Fight hard, break bones >{o

i usually get them from members of a group im in simply becuase im active.

and as said they mainly are sent when groups offer promos to recruiters. i usually check the group out and then leave. occasionally i'll find a group i like or a member i like will invite me to his group and i'll stay.

if you get spammed by the same member several times, just block em.

I have almost the same problem. I'll usually get 4-6 invites in a week, 8-12 the next, then none for about a couple weeks.
I just stick with the groups i have already, & if i can squeeze the other group in, i might accept.
Just do like Sick Pimpin said, block 'em if they get too annoying.

It varies with me. If you post a lot in the public forums, you will get a lot of invites.

I rarely get invites because I am in the UK my posts often disappear from the bottom of the forums very quickly when it is active American hour. I am rarely seen as a recently posting user so I don't get many... except from members in my group-
