I received the following message when I invited our 280 teachers/tutors to our group:

You have reached the limit for number of invites that can be sent out without approval. Once your new invites have been approved, they will be sent out. You will receive a notification when this happens.

How long will it take for these invites to be approved?? Our G+ community ends on 4/2, and I wanted to get the teachers in this weekend.

It generally takes only a few hours. See??for an explanation of why this restriction exists. Yahoo has a similar restriction, but it kicks in at 100 invitations instead of 20.

Hi Bruce,

Can this limit of 20 invites at a time be overcome by paying for a Premium subscription to Groups.io?

That might could be a workaround for the OP of this thread.

Just was wondering . . .

Cheers!

No, the limit is for all groups.? Looking at the message that Bruce linked to, it clearly states "Now, if you invite/direct add more than 20 people in a 24 hour period, your invite/direct add will be moderated and subject to being approved by me, which I will try to do quickly."

Bruce,

in at 100 invitations instead of 20.

There's a very significant difference.

Yahoo's restriction is a true restriction: the mechanism will not allow more than that.

On Groups.io the limit is merely a trigger for moderation. One can Invite/Direct Add your full list at one time, and all of them will be approved at once.

Thanks for answers, could you confirm what i understand on how it work :
- I sent an invite to 50 people of our club, igot the message and see nothing more in the "sent invitation" list
-? when my invitation request will receive moderation (checking that what i send is not spam but looks like a true group data), all the pending invite will be sent and added to the "sent invitation" list

I understand this spam restriction that seem to be 3 years old, so it might be writen/explained somewhere ... because it seems to me of common use to invite a lot of people when starting a group (like migrate a previously existing group from other platform) (a warning message at this time could be a good point), a warning could also be included near the "send invitation" button, that could be more clear and probably avoid multiple sending for people that doesn't understand why it doesn't work (my first reflex was to remove some sent invitation to make room for new one and send again the file -> giving twice the job to moderator because of lack of warning.

But this restriction is writen nowhere, i have to reach this forum to get the knowledge, not very obvious for non english speaking moderators/owners (it could be gained to be writen in the pricing sheet as a common spam restriction, perhaps with response delay shorten/guaranteed for enterprise paid subscriptions).
Best regards

f1mqj,

- I sent an invite to 50 people of our club, igot the message and see
nothing more in the "sent invitation" list

That list should show you the status of each of those 50 invitations. The normal status would be Sent or Accepted, but Failed is also possible.

-? when my invitation request will receive moderation (checking that
what i send is not spam but looks like a true group data), all the
pending invite will be sent and added to the "sent invitation" list

I'm not certain what the Status shows during the time before Groups.io approves your Invite list. From what you say they aren't even listed until then. That's not too surprising.

(a warning message at this time could be a good point),

I agree.

At the very minimum I think the site should put up a banner at the top of the invite page after you click "Send Invitations" explaining that there may be a delay for approval, and that there is no need to re-submit the addresses.

(it could be gained to be writen in the pricing sheet as a common spam
restriction, perhaps with response delay shorten/guaranteed for
enterprise paid subscriptions).

I doubt Mark will want to do that. The pricing list used to list "premium access to support" or something like that for the paid plans, but he eventually removed it because he didn't want to promise something he didn't know how to quantify. This might fall into the same category.
