Could people please remind people who they give invites to that they are to come back here and offer invites to other members of this forum in return.

Red reppies otherwise?

A red rep for forgetting to invite someone to join an email system? Nice - real nice.

No your reading it wrong - i think.

The idea behind this thread was that if you give out an G-Mail addy to a forum member in this thread that you should give at least one of your invites back to another forum member who is waiting. Its right there in the very first post.

All im saying is that its very rude to take but not to give, and i dont see what would be wrong with giving a red rep in that circumstance.

Or please tell me why this shouldnt happen if you think im wrong.

Because the rep system is supposed to be for posts you agree/disagree with, and, how will you know if they actually have the ability to invite people? I haven't had the option to yet, what are you going to do? Give me a negative rep just in case? I think you'll lose a lot more rep points than I will should you decide to do that.

I disagree, i think that in addition to the the agree/disagree with posts option its all about general forum conduct - is somebody was to send me a PM telling me to **** *** i would probably red rep them.

Likewise if by aggreeing to the "terms and conditions" of a thread they decide, well, screw them im just going to hand out the invites to whoever i like i think that is in bad taste and should get a red rep.

BTW - i have G-Mail and have given out invites, i have also not got any problem with people i have invited its just a general point.

After all its right there in the first post.

EDIT: I think to give them a few weeks is more than enough to have returned to the tread to give out an invite, unless they come back and say that they dont have the ability. I would just rather have it that people dont just join up, grab an e-mail addy then fook off and dish them out to all their mates when IMO they owe something back to Cableforums members.

Well - I gave my first invite to my wife - who (at the time) wasn't a member. So I guess that means you better red rep me.

But then I gave my second one to a member on here.

MMMmmm.

Thanks for not clarifying anything ... perhaps you could answer my previous question, how are you going to find out if they've got the ability to invite others? How do you know I've not given out a couple of invites to people not associated with this site?

Also, if you're going to blatantly abuse the rep system, then I'll say this, anyone using Gmail that get's a negative rep from anyone else for not inviting others, let me know, and I'll repay the favour.

Nothing wrong with that - you gave an invite to another member. Whats your point?

Im not sayin ALL your invites should go to other members.
