Hello folks.

Please be more careful with social networks and other form of mass-mailing.
This mailing list reaches hundreds of students, and such invitations are not appropriate.


Thank you.

There must be some mechanism to identify these invitations and discard.

We can try detecting any link pointing to such sites.

We could scan the post for such links through some algorithm.  

And then we can give the one who posted it a lesson.

Hello folks,

Of course, we should all be careful when inviting our contacts list upon joining any social network. This is an easy mistake to make and one I've made myself. Forgive, forget, archive, delete, move on. :)

Cheers,

LH

I filed a bug with our groups team on this issue and it was marked
won't fix. With the permission of the engineer who took a look at the
bug, I thought I would share his response on why this bug was marked
won't fix --> working as intended.

"It's working as intended in that we aren't intercepting mail that
isn't spam or wasn't explicitly listed for moderation, and then
moderating it.

If LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. had a uniform way of indicating that this
was a system-sent message, we could probably add it as an option to
"reject", "moderate", or "post" as a setting, but so far they do not
appear to."

Hope this helps,
LH
