Comment on Invitation queue turned off for a week to combat spam

  1. thekoimermaid (Guest) Mon 23 Oct 2017 12:51AM UTC

    When I go to check it now does not give me an estimation of when I should receive an email. This seems to be a new update, can you elaborate on what it means for those of us waiting to receive invites?

    Is there a way we could 'verify' ourselves further so as to not be seen as potential spam/allowed to circumvent all the potential spambots?

      Hi, thekoimermaid!

      Thanks for letting us know about this behavior with the wait list, and I'm sorry for providing incorrect information! It won't affect whether or not you receive an invitation, but we'll log the issue so we can get it fixed.

      We'll also be looking into the possibility of verifying invitation requests to cut down on our spam issues in the future.

        Sarken,

        You're quite welcome! No worries, I just thought I would mention it as it was not expected. Thanks for letting me know it will not affect whether or not an invitation will come! Looking forward to it.

        Thanks for doing what you do!
