Re: Inviting Members

 

The problem with the “Invite” process is that it bypasses any Pending Member Message, which seems to be the only way to put the demand for “First and Last Name” or other qualifying information into the joining process.

One can include a custom message in an “Invite”, but the prospective member is instantly subscribed when they accept, without having to answer the question(s) that may be in such a ‘custom message’.

I want to only have known people as members, so I instruct Moderators to only invite people whose First and Last Name they already know, as well as their email address. We can then enter it as their Display Name, but that is changeable.


Suggestions:
1) Allow a custom message that must be replied to as part of the joining process, whether by Invite, email request <[email protected]>, or the website’s "+ Apply For Membership In This Group"

2) Since Display Name can be altered by the Member, add an Owner and Moderators only viewable and changeable “Real Name” or “Member’s List Name" in Admin: Members - if necessary as 'Member can view only’ in their “Profile” or is it “Group Profile”

You can include a custom message that is inserted in the middle of this, but that's all. See the next box on this screen; whatever you type there will be inserted at the point where it says "The following message was included by [your name]:". By default this area is populated with whatever Member Notice of type "Invite" is currently active, but you can modify it as you wish for each invitation.

This custom message is not only useful, but important to ensure that your invitation looks legitimate and is not just some spammer trying to get a potential subscriber to click on a link.
