Topic: Inviting to a Group

I just discovered you cannot send an invitation to a new person to join a Group unless you are 'connected'. Could the being 'connected' requirement be dropped? A person may not want to be 'connected' personally but might enjoy the Group.

Re: Inviting to a Group

A connection is a person-to-person link, and seems in that to be more selective than membership in a common group.  It would seem a natural progression for a less selective relationship to lead to a more selective relationship, but to require the more selective relationship as a precondition of the less would seem to reverse this naturally ordered progression.

My $0.02, of course.

I think this makes sense otherwise you could spam everyone on the site, inviting  them to join your group.

Re: Inviting to a Group

Spammers can be warned and banned.  Their groups can be shut down.

But if protection keeps the thing from working well what good is it?
