In JR4, we had an invite feature. In other social networks, there is an invite feature that hooks into (say) gmail or Facebook. Any plans for this?

I think a small module that integrates a 3rd party service would probably be best, as I have no plans to try to develop the "hook" into FB or Gmail (certainly not FB, which would change theirs on a daily basis).

Not sure when we can get to it, but since it was part of JR4 it's on the TODO.

careful with invites. I often tag them as spam when its clear that I don't know the sender and they are just blasting as a form of promotion.

This can cause your domain name to end up on blacklists that make it harder to get your actual mail delivered.

I'm sure im not alone.

If you notice the habitual spammers often send their emails from throw-away public (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc) addresses rather than the actual domain they are trying to promote.

If you know me and want to sent me an email, send me an email. Not a fan of invites.

I agree 100% with Michael, but based on the requests for it back in JR4 I'm certain it will continue to be requested (seems like in "todays" internet uses for the most part don't think twice about spamming their friends).

Maybe you can set an limit in the master admin options. Limit the number of invites per day? Sounds lame, but thinking this through....

Say the limit is 50 invites per day, If i was a user I would either:

1. selectively choose 50 friends
2. select the first 50 friends
3. just not use it at all.

I'm not hard up for this feature but I just thought, for the users that find value in it, it's there for them.

I have no further questions on this if you'd like to mark it as closed. Thanks!
