AA-Invite People To Your Steam Group

[ᙃutch-ᙖuddha ☠]

I have created a Steam group but why can't you invite people to your group if you spot someone on the forum for example, you have to add those people to your friends list first. I think this is a big mistake or sometimes I don't see it right ???? peeps let me know what you think about it. I'm using a translation app so the post looks weird

No, but it was heavily abused by scammers.

No thanks, I don't like people spamming links at me for some group, specially when they are not on my friends list.

I hate the idea that people will use bot accounts to then spam thousands of links to people all over steam.

This was a great change and was done because of the spam invites anyone could do. I hope this does not get changed again, I went from having hundreds of trash groups invites to only a few a week from friends.

Ahhh I see, the "I don't like your answer so I'm going to act like a child" response. Again, I like not being spammed with group invites by bots.

The invite spam that led to scams was cut off when Valve finally disabled the ability to invite anyone. The invite spam literally died the moment it happened.

If you have a plan that would work better while allowing non-friends to invite you to groups to prevent the spam/scams from happening, we're all ears.

That's just another avenue to send scam links or to try to get users to leave Steam to talk to a fake admin.

Anything else?

So then we will be bombarded with hundreds of messages of either "Would you like to join X group?" or "Check out imnotascammertryingtotrickyou dot com" (though with a copy and paste able or click able link instead of just dot com)

No thanks. And if Valve EVER decided to allow something like this, there would have to be a switch to not allow any kind of group invite along with a message from people and it would have to be off by default, which pretty much breaks your idea.

It current prevents spamming and abuse. If I don't want to be spammed with group invites, that's great. If you send a friend request, i accept it and you talk to me about the group, i'll either be interested in it or i'm not. I would then otherwise not accept the friend request and go about unbothered as I was. It is fine as is.

Because people don't want to be invited to random groups by random people.
