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.I beg to differ. While it may not be the biggest problem on this website, it is still annoying. Showing that there is some sort of displeasure with the current 'system' that MANY private groups are going by these days (Everyone, PM anyone you see and invite them to the group) may cause change.
People don't seem to understand that bombarding members with invites can cause a negative effect, bringing less members to the ranks rather than creating positive feelings towards the group and bringing quality people to it, ya know?
Not to mention, the Community Manager of the website will see the complaints, and possibly give us, the users, better tools to help advertise groups. One could only hope!
