Option to block union invites

Hi there,

Union invites can be quite annoying, but so far I usually only got them from people already in my contactlist. Lately though, people seem to be more desperate to get more members and just randomly spam every user in their list, their contact's contactlist their union's memberlist and so on.

Of course I could just put all those users on ignore or all pm notifications off, but wouldn't it be easier if there is an option to block unioninvites only? Those are the only pm notifications which are annoying at the moment.

Why is everyone so lazy? I know union invites can be annoying, but you don't have to whine about yourself getting so many. People are just trying to recruit to their unions to make them as active as possible. Why would you complain about it here anyway. Talk to the user who sends you the most union invites and tell them to stop.

I doubt Gamespot will do this, because they know it takes little effort to accept/decline or just delete them!

While they do get annoying, and I'd still like to see GS implement this I have a suggestion fo ryou:

Any time you get a union invite just delete the PM all together, don't accept or decline it. I used to get union invites all the time, but this has stopped them completely as you are in the system as pending in progress or something and can't get another for that union.

Why would I ASK about it here? Because this is the suggestions part of GS for enhancements? Kind of logical don't you think? And for your information, this has nothing to do with being lazy. Some people just don't like spam. Because spam is being lazy. It's just mindless clicking some invite buttons for another mindless union. Take an example of the Community Contributions union, they know how to invite people. They approached me in pm telling something about themselves and why they liked to see me there. And all that without just entering my name in the invite section. Now that's a good effort, not just randomly filling in names.

Somehow I don't think you really thought about what you were posting before you hit that button. Be more constructive next time please.

Icytower38, thanks for the suggestion, but I've already tried that. The invites used to stick in the union part of the profile up till the point where you'd have a max amount of invites as well apart from the pending, but it seems the invites get deleted after a certain amount of time lately.

You actually should contact those sending you the invites on your contact list.  If you know them decently, they probably will stop.  If you don't know them, get them off of there. 

Some people complain about this, but have 400 friends on their friend's list and it is obvious why they get so many.  This doesn't apply to you, but to a lot of people who have this issue.

Very true and nicely put yian & leezeebub!

I am a officer over at WWEv, one of the biggest unions on GS, and I know of no members that have joined simply because they got invited. I also know none of our active members that send out union invites.

since it's so big, it doesn't need invitations, but what about the smaller unions? Nobody will notice them

While that is a true statement _Sam_ I honestly think that is the fault of GS and the union system as it is. (I hate saying it but I think it is honestly the truth)

I hate union invitations too, but there are times when you read the title of the union, and might think "oh cool, I didn't know there was a union for "x"!" _Sam_
