these blah-blah invitations...

Tuesday March 11, 2008 at 06:38PM

I cannot stand getting anymore those blah-blah invitations :

"Hello you, I'm an admin of the group "Blah-Blah-images". It would be great if you would add this doc to our group. Thank you !"

this means, that the inviting person is not really interested in your pic... he doesn't comment, not even a few words... he just invites as many people as possible for his senseless group, where he brushes up his poor ego as a moderator...

I think this is a bad selfish behaviour without any manners... and in future I will block every person who will send me such a prefabricated blah-blah invitation !!!

Hmm...I often think that certain people use invitations as an easy way to show some level of appreciation. Myself, I just ignore the invites and I've stopped receiving them : )

oh.. ! I'm sorry! I invite people once in a while (when I remember) to the citizens against kittens... because I think I would like to see the picture in the group pool. I don't know how else let people know about the group ... ;(

sorry if i offended.

Rumple replies:
annjin...NO, YOU DIDN'T OFFEND ME !!! NEVER !!! ;)) ... my grumpy critic doesn't go against personal invitations, if someone thinks a pic could fit into a group... it goes only against commentless and endless prefabricated blah-blah invitations from always the same few people... (and btw. I am member of the citizen against kittens group...LOL)

Hey Rumple, sei nicht so borstig! Wir sind hier weltweit unterwegs, nicht nur durch unser altes Europa. Dort ist das freundliche Wort unterwegs, während man bei uns doch oft mit der Tür gleich kritisch ins Haus fällt.

You're right of course, sometimes I'm a sinner but most of the time I comment. I will do better. i seldom use the word 'nice' and I don't use 'idiotic group-icons'
Thanks for being my Über-Ich, I need it sometimes!!!!!! ; ]

You really enjoy the curmudgen/grumpy role in life. I admire that about you. I promise that I will never ever, ever, ever, invite you to anything unless I supply a full disclousure concerning any or all known or unknown or unknowable motivations now or possibly in the future. That is my personal pledge to you.

ahh, da war jemand schneller als ich mit dem thread :)
aber wirklich: das musste mal gesagt werden; ich kann's langsam auch nicht mehr ausstehen.
einerseits heißt es hier auf ipernity immer, dass es wesentlich "persönlicher" ist als der böse große bruder flickr, und dann gibts nicht mal nen metaphorischen schulterklopfer bei ner einladung. hm.

Count me in on the gripe about this phenomenon!
Maybe we should start a Grumpy Group? Where us old grouches can gripe about things that annoy us and discuss how much better things were when we were young. After all, there was none of this fancy schmancy internet back then. No, if we wanted to talk to people in Germany back then, we had to actually go to Germany! And there were no express trains either!
Well, actually I do think there were express trains when I was a kid. And they were on schedule too!

Just wanted to say that the robotic group invites bother me too. I really don't know what to do about them, and since I often ignore invites no matter what (don't notice them till they are 3 months old) I figure that's the best policy.

Aber wenn faul, dann richtig und lieber gar nix schreiben. Ich kanns gut nachvollziehen.
Aber Dein Profil-Bild wäre ein witziges Experiment (falls es dort nocht nicht ist!)

Mei, seids doch net gar so rappelig! 1. ist es doch irgendwie auch ein Kompliment, auch wenn sich jetzt einer nicht gleich zu hehren Worten, Interpretationen (oder meintswegen auch fundierter Kritik) versteigt. Ich gestehe hiermit ,dass ich zuweilen auch ein Foto "favoritiere", aber nix dazu sage - ich betrachte das aber weniger als Desinteresse oder Automatismus (obwohl manche Bilder mich spontan so begeisterm, dass ich die Maus automatisch zum Fav-Stern flitzen lassen muss), sondern eher wie ein wortloses Lächeln, weil ich das Bild in dem Moment einfach gut finde oder was Positives fühle, aber das grad mal nicht in Worte kleiden mag. So empfinde ich es jedenfalls, wenn jemand meine Fotos stumm "favoritiert". Und dabei ist meine Grundeinstellung mitnichten prinzipiell gutmenschig-positiv. (Vielleicht liegt meine Aufregschwelle ja nur a weng höher).
2. Man kann solche Einladungen doch einfach ignorieren. Himmel, ein Großteil unserer sozialen Beziehungen besteht doch wohlweislich eh aus Ignorieren. Man hat es halt - zumal in seinem solchen Umfeld wie hier - nicht immer mit Menschen der gleichen Geisteshaltung, Gesinnung oder sozialen Prägung zu tun. "Wie wär's mal mit Gelassenheit?" - frei nach Balu ;o)

Eigenartig ??!!

Ich habe heute von einem gewissen "Rumple" eine bla-bla Einladung mit folgendem Wortlaut bekommen:

hello :)
"I would like to invite you to the group "selfportraits"
it would be fine if you want to join :)
thank you !"

Ohne das dieser Einlader je meine Bilder besucht hat (jedenfalls ist er unter Aktivität nirgends zu finden), geschweige denn einen Kommentar abgegeben hat.

Lutz

Rumple replies:
ok, Herr Lutz536, dazu muß ich wohl Stellung nehmen :
ich habe heute an alle, die meine Contacts sind,
und an alle, die mich zum Contact gemacht haben,
und die noch nicht Mitglieder der "selfportraits" sind, diese Einladung verschickt...
(als moderator der Gruppe muß ich ja drauf schauen,
daß die Mitgliederzahl nicht stagniert...oder ?)

ich habe das NICHT als blah-blah-comment unter ein Foto geschrieben,
sondern als leicht zu ignorierende message verschickt...

sollte ich dem Herrn Lutz dabei auf den Schlips getreten sein,
tut mir das sehr leid ;)) Pardon !
(und welche Bilder ich kommentiere, möchte ich schon selbst entscheiden...)

Speaking my mind ;-)
Thanks for the post.
Although I don't find as much time as I'd love to during week- days, I still try to comment personally, without "copy&paste"- phrases- or at least fave the pic and comment later on.
The invitations are just ridiculous and I wish there was an button to decide wether I'd like to get group invitations or not....

*Have a great day*

also the groups have to be developed: And you are part of this process.

Among those groups are also groups you do not think about it before. These groups do not run without invitations. And they make sence.

Shure an Admin can write you a personal invitation. In addition i do not often seek for group that may fit for a single picture. But do not forget some members never put a picture in a group (Also do not know how it works).

On the opposide especialy groups with invided pictures are of high interest not only for the Groupmembers.

Please do not think in the way you write on top; please think after each invitation: do i agree and makes it sence to put it in there. But I also think it is good to block some crazy invisitors. Thanks Ulrich

I definitely don't agree.

I am an admin for periodicity and lines and curves, because I personally like images with those themes. I know others do too because they tell me so. I am always on the look-out for images with those themes and don't have the time to both invite *and* comment on every photo. As far as my ego is concerned, I started those groups because they did not exist and I wanted to see collections of photos with those elements, not to flatter my ego.

So I hope you will rethink the opinion you expressed.
