Group Inviting feature, 4/1/13.
Hello robloxians and Roblox staff,
I think a feature giving groups the ability to invite people would greatly benefit groups of roblox. This is because groups will grow more without the hastle of having to manually guide players to their groups and can bring their attention to it through a sort of message. It would be similar to sending a friend request in many ways. Here would be some possible features:
1: You would invite the robloxian through the Group Admin section of the group page.
2: Robloxian will have the ability to ignore any and all group invites in their account settings, if they find it annoying.
3: To add on to #2, The user can choose to ingore requests from certain types of groups, possibly ones with a certain amount of members or maybe even how long the group has been around.
4: Again to add on to the previous 2, The user can choose to ignore requests from certain people, and they can choose to ignore a request from a certain group forever. (In which case if they ever decided to join that group it would have to be done manually.)
5: An individual robloxian can only receive one invitation from your group, you can not continually spam them with invites.
6: The group leader gets to decide who may invite through the groups rights and privelages in the group admin section of the group page.
7: Also there is the issue of people not checking in their inbox, it could be possible for roblox to add a small sound effect similar to the one a party chat makes, when you receive an invite and also add a little pop up stating that you have been invited by: (The groups name) Also in the group invite it may include information on your group or a message to the recruit.
8: (Completely optional, but if need be this could be used.) Possibly inviting someone could cost a ticket, 10 tickets, or maybe even a robux each. Sort of as a postage fee. But please note, this is only if the group inviting feature seems outrageous, this would limit group invintg to a degree but eliminate most chances of spam.
Here are some links to other roblox forums regarding this idea:

2: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=47657359
3: And the one with the most supporters, http://www2.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=80409236&PageIndex=8
If such a feature as this were added it would definately boost overall group activity and growth on roblox, and if group activity is increased then people will have even more a reason to log on to roblox. It would be a sort of a butterfly effect. I believe this would be a very great feature for roblox and for those smaller groups out there that can't seem to get enough attention to attract members. If you support this idea please post reply that and keep this idea at the front of this forum section. Thank you for reading and please do consider adding this feature.
Your loyal robloxian,

Not a bad idea, but you would be hard pressed to find those people without it blocked. So like the green and red dots shown for activity, there should be a yellow and blue (or some other colors) to see if you can send invites to them. It would cut down on spam, but it would give groups like FEAR super tools to recruiting people. It should be one of those things, where Roblox only allows this power to the leader of a clan. |

That makes sense, if more people agree with that view on it i might update it in the suggestion. Also thanks for posting, i want to keep this thread as active as possible so we can get more and more supporters to help make this feature a reality. |

This...is just bad.
Why invite people when you can go out there, and recruit yourselves? |

> 2: Robloxian will have the ability to ignore any and all group invites in their account settings, if they find it annoying.
Now I agree.
I'd get thousands. |

Haha. yea that satisfies both sides of the argument, some robloxians want this feature so why not let them have it if you can just turn the feature off at will. |

Support. Very useful as a tool for group leaders/group admins. |
|

Thanks sparticka, I would agree with you. I've been able to invite many people to my groups, but it always ends up with them not taking the time to find the group and join it. With this, it makes groups much easier to join and also makes it for smaller and bigger groups alike to gain many members. |
