Update title of FAQ 80? (community management)

[seaofdestiny]

First off, apologies if this is not the write place of if I should format proposals like this differently

This is the right place for FAQ modification proposals.

I personally would rather keep the title as it is. The modified wording that you propose suggests that the user invite people to their community and some people consider those email invitaitons spam. I think they should keep the promotions to community_promo. Although on the other hand, it may be a good idea to change the title because inviting users is what the FAQ is about and it makes more sense considering that adding users implies that they get added automatically, which certainly isn't true. So I guess it could go either way.

while we're discussing closed membership emails...I suspect there's a problem with the emails being sent out; if you have a space after the username then the member won't be sent an invitation even though the success page pops up. This happened everytime when someone told me on IRC they still didn't get the email until I removed the space.

Okay, now that I ranted about it in a totally irrelevant post, off I go.

A post about this would be great in helpscreening, since we seem to see those every once in a while, and that's definitely something that could be a problem.

Or would zilla be better? I really am not sure because perhaps it's not a widespread occurance...or maybe it does happen to everyone. Either one, I'd prefer more testing for confirmation.

I'd zilla it. The thingy should auto-remove spaces and stuff before processing the username.

It's always helpful to include a link to the FAQ and a note of what category it's in (comms, I hope, in this case :) ).

Like this?

[lyspeth]

Yup. Cool.

This got a header and a pretty clear writeup in 80, so marking resolved.

[seaofdestiny]

Yes, I'd say it's resolved now. Thanks!

...and I had no idea I had written about this (nearly five years ago!). Did you go through the entire community?

[jai_dit]

Everything that was marked "status-deferred", which extended back several years, yeah.
