Subject: If I get one more -blam!- group invitation..

I can honestly say, I don't usually mind group invitations very much. I've found several groups that I spend time in every day. Usually, they're cordial, somewhat informative, and well put together. However, in the last few weeks I have been receiving group invite after group invite full of grammatical errors, and claiming to have 1000+ members when it's really around 18-20. My inbox is a desolate wasteland of frustration. I get 5-10 per day.

Has anyone else noticed a sudden increase in the amount of group invites?

I've not received hardly any group invites, in a long time.

This is why there is a block button, and for now all we can do is hope that they implement some better advertising for groups as a whole.

Consider yourself lucky. I've probably deleted 100 messages this month.

I have been getting some recently. When I was active before, I got quite a few, but only like 2-5 a week. Now I am lucky to get 2 a week. I don't mind it though.

If people send you group invites, it is a good sign because it means that they respect you in some way.

Something tells me we got the same crappy group sending us messages today.

There's a block button for a reason.

No you haven't, especially considering your recent post activity.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Sapphire really needs to stop spamming me with invites. I am flattered, but its getting old.

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

I get one every now and then, but I don't post very often so...

I'm failing to see where these two things meet up. I keep getting spammed by different members of Robot Factory and several other groups.

The worst part is, I haven't posted much recently there either. I come here for private groups now, and occasionally venture out onto the mains.

Telling people to change their forum habits, provided they are rule abiding, to avoid something that really isn't a problem is terrible advice.

If you are really tired of receiving group invites, one of the main intentional purposes of the of the PM system, then just politely decline, ignore, or block the persistent senders who aren't getting the hint. Getting upset over things that can literally be solved by either looking away or clicking a button is a waste of time and energy, in my opinion.

Nobody ever invites me to their groups, I hope it stays that way.

Who the hell do you think I am?

That's what the "block user" feature is for, my friend.

We should know better, because we are better.

I get very few invitations. I like it that way. The few I get I mostly ignore.

I've gotten plenty in the past few days. I'm actually quite disgusted.

Oh yeah. Their annoying spam ensured I will never, ever go near that group quite some time ago.
