Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi all, I have received 2 unsolicitated invitations from other , similar in nature to groups I already belong to. The most recent one was today. Am I the only one receiving these invitations? Should I just delete the invite? Any advice would be appreciated. Hugs, Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi Buffy This is not harvesting in the *spammer* sence, its actually a feature. permits an owner to Invite people to their group and provided an *invite* button that opens an email for the owner/mod to insert the email address they want to invite. The feature is limited to so many invites per day. Its to allow owner/mods to promote their group to people (usually from similar groups) who they feel may like the new group as well. If you are not interested in the new group just delete the invite.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 PS I forgot to add that although they dont have to, its concidered etiquette to ask the owner of the existing group if its OK to send invites to their members! The owner may then also promote the new group on list (so they hit a wide audience) - or not, as the case may be. For instance, we would be happy to promote other similar AT lists (lists are not a competition!) but not happy to promote MLM'ers. Its about who you want to associate/be associated with, and asking first is more likely to produce a friendly response......<note to whoever is using our list there!!> LLx 2008/7/29 Liz <liztams: > Hi Buffy > This is not harvesting in the *spammer* sence, its actually a feature. > permits an owner to Invite people to their group and provided an > *invite* button that opens an email for the owner/mod to insert the > email address they want to invite.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I didn't see this before I responded. Thanks for explaining. It is getting annoying to get so many though.
