+Razak Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 In the last week I've recieved 2 invites to groups/category proposals that I wouldn't really likely be interested in being part of. (might submit waymarks but wouldn't likely join the group.) What is odd to me is that neither of these invites did I post any interest in previously, they don't have any accompanying message to tell me why they invited me, and I think one of em wasn't even on the first page of category recruitment threads when it invited me. Do these sorts of random invites happen to others? Or am I somehow the only one? If this is how group owners are doing business I am going to wonder about the practice of even allowing group owners to spam like that. Link to comment
+Black Dog Trackers Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yes. Just go with the flow. People are wanting to get their categories started. Help 'em out! Link to comment
+Razak Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yes. Just go with the flow. People are wanting to get their categories started. Help 'em out! While I feel for them on that respect... I can't very well be an officer in 50 categories... my inbox gets filled quickly enough already=P And it isn't like I don't watch the category recruition threads to offer my help to those I do like... spamming my inbox with unasked for or even explained requests surely doesn't help endear me to the category that I already likely passed up...

Jeremy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Since the group management is based on some experiences with World of Warcraft, I would expect that similar things would happen. People run around in the WoW game asking people to sign their charter (it takes 15). You'll see some recruting going on here as well. We have a feature enhancement planned to allow you to automatically turn down requests. I probably get inundated with them more than most - even with my abrasive personality Link to comment

I never would have thought that'd be the source of your idea lol (btw... wow players are newbs but I digress). The automatically turn down thing would be nice. I would suggest to have it return a message to the invitor stating the reason for the denial... just in case someone logically makes an invite... Link to comment

We already have PvP here in the forums! (although more so in the Geocaching fora) Link to comment
+nfa Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I've had the opposite happen to me...I started a group, and invited a couple of the people who joined other similar groups that I'm a part of, and then received "didn't accept invitation" emails from people that I know that I did not invite...weird, but easy enough to just delete and forget.
