HappyHappy Ignore all invites

YES!!!!!!!!!

All those who bitch about their friends inviting them to every event under the sun... the time has finally come!

Facebook is finally giving the option to ignore all invites by particular people!

FUCKEN EH!!!!!

The one disadvantage to that is sometimes 3 out of 100 invites I get from a single person, I do actually want to go to! Haha


Posted by malek on Nov-06-2008 02:49:

fuck yes1!1

finally, cause I started cleaning up the friend list. tired of the multiple invites for the same event.


Posted by dEsidEL on Nov-06-2008 02:57:


has anyone ever tried asking the person to remove them from their mailing list? I was going to attempt this but wasn't sure if they usually just select their entire friend's list when they send these out..


Posted by Abercrombie on Nov-06-2008 02:59:

oh thank gad! Needed this so badly.

What got to me is repeat updates to "members of blah blah blah event", which I'm not even a member of. It's like once you get an invite, you stay on a mailing list even though you did not accept, or 'not attending'.


Posted by *~LiSa-LoO~* on Nov-06-2008 03:07:

Just used it for the first time!!


Posted by Mortyman on Nov-06-2008 03:11:

I'm pretty sure that if you belong to a group, you can't opt out of the updates and whatnot, but ya, people who make an event then send it to everyone on their friends list, that's what you have the option of opting out of now.

Emery, I've asked a few friends to stop sending me invites. It stopped for about a month, but when someone has like 1000 friends, it's alot easier just to click everyone's name on their list than actually having to read and analyze everyone on the list of who is interested and who isn't.

surely one has to have friends who aren't into this kinda music!

FINALLY. Now I don't have to hear about events for DJs I have never heard of/don't care about in cities I don't even live in.

im getting the invites mostly from ppl on my friends list who happen to be promoters as well .. at times i'll get invites for the same event from more than 1 person

anyways, shouldn't be a problem now with this new ignore all feature w00t


Posted by activate on Nov-06-2008 04:41:

personally i don't mind invites. I like to know what's going on the city.. and it's not that hard to select "remove from my events" if i'm not interested in it.

however I'm not really interested in events in other cities.

That's exactly it!

btw, is that Peter Mansbridge in your avatar??


Posted by activate on Nov-06-2008 04:48:

it is. Peter Mansbridge is a hunk.


Posted by Mach X on Nov-06-2008 06:02:

I don't mind them that much either...

1) It's really not that hard to click [NO]
2) I've edited my settings so I don't get e-mails for events, or alerts on my phone for events so I am not even bothered by getting them till I actually log onto facebook
3) I know it's support from fellow friends, promoters, DJs etc to click attending too up your "Attending" numbers to make your event look good, but it's really not that harmful to be honest and click NO, and when you click NO you can't get any of those reminders or future messages regarding the events like "Only one more day to get guest list" and "Tickets almost sold out, get them now!"

As it was said before, I like to know what is going on around the city, even sometimes elsewhere... half the shit I know about what's going in Toronto is from Toronto promoters and DJs, keeps you in the loop about some of the smaller parties and events, not just the huge Circa or Guv events, or the weekly boat cruises in the summer.

i dont mind getting invites...its just getting 3-4 differnt invites from multiple promoters/djs about the same event but under their own accounts that pisses me off...

I thought it was Colin Mochrie, haha

FUCK YEAH!!!

***clicks the "invite people" button***


seriously...it's not that annoying. I currently have 143 "invites" sitting in my inbox right now....halloween week, it was over 260

It's my southern ontario daily news for events for me. I read them all, but never respond to them. Once the date passes, they dissapear from my inbox....and if the mass messages bother me, I click the "remove events from my list" button. The stupid mass messages mildly entertain me, so I seldom "remove"

yeah, i send them out once/twice a week...but I'm also never bothered by massive amount of nightlife information throw in my face.

what I am bothered by is my itchy fucking moustache...holy eff someones gotta sit on this thing to put the fire out...

facebizzle will be dead in 12 to 15 months anyways...then we can move on to bitching about how promoters are abusing the next mass social marketing tool.


Posted by mickmack on Nov-06-2008 13:41:

this is amazing news. there are a bunch of my friends that i don't want to delete but i want them to stop sending me invites. i don't mind getting one invite for an event, but it gets to be too much when i get 4 or 5 invites and then messages every week up to the day of the event reminding me about it.


Posted by Sasha on Nov-06-2008 13:53:

haters


lol


I actually use "custom lists" when inviting friends to events. out of of my 1700 friends on fb only about 1000 get invites from me.

I don't mind hearing about events... I find it annoying that I hear about the same event 15 times by 4 different people. No need to send an invite every 3 days until the event happens.

Plus messages regarding the events... it tends to be a little bit of overkill.
