Thank you Facebook!

Finally, an "Ignore all event invites from this user" function.

Honestly its about time. If I am attending your party than thats it. I don't need to know how many days it is till the party b/c well I knew when I clicked attend. I already bought my ticket so please don't tell me how many are left!

I am a little torn though. A few times a year I decide to throw an event and I would hate to be "ignored" just from these messages.

Maybe a better idea wouldve been to give promoters more options when inviting people. Or place restrictions rather than straight up take it away.

Any thoughts?

[Pussy*Kat]

I am so damn thankful for this feature its not even funny.

Personally, so far, I have only ignored completely the people who throw events I would NEVER attend. IE: not in the same country.

Unfortuantly, 99% of the awful promoters (spammimg 9-10 times a day) ruined it for the ones who respect the fact you wont be going and leave it at that.

Its the way the cookie crumbles I suppose.

[matéo]

I don't mind the invites but what the fuck is with 238290345824095 messages a day reminding people about your event? I know promoters think it's a genuis marketing idea and all, but it's completely redick. All this does in completely fucking enrage and annoy the shit out of everyone getting them and probably does a lot more harm than good.

It's like, if someone wants to meet with me at work, they send me an outlook meeting maker. That way, I can accept, tentatively acccept, or decline the invitation. If there's any chance I will make this meeting and accept the invitation it gets saved in my outlook calendar. I would seriously rip anyone to shreds in my office if they e-mailed me three times a week coming up to the meeting reminding me about it. The same goes for facebook too. The more promoters do that, the more I'm inclined to ignore everything this person sends me in the future.

Can you teach my office this? Anytime I do anything like this in outlook it causes mass panic...

[tiedye]

You guys lead such difficult lives. How ever do you manage?

[ebbomega]

Every office has a standard stress-relief room with fresh babies to kill.

[Kandyapple]

Oh man so many people going on this list. Sorry probably a couple FnK people too. haha

I end up just saying no to everything most of the time, and then I sit there wondering why nobody invited me on the day of. :P
I'm just sick of sifting through all the junk. It will be nice to have the filter option; then maybe I'll get a chance to say yes to the ones I actually want to go to.

[Krusha]

kandyapple's on the right track we should be able to input a spam filter based on artists @ said event

like an automatic 'no' to any teisto or paul jokenfold gigs

that way your tastes could be tweaked to a tee, and thats exactly what viral marketing developers would love to get their hands on, and better yet, the spam would be relevant to your taste and wouldn't feel soo spammy

think about it, only chinese people would get augment your penis emails ... it would be a magical world

I get about 30 invites a week for events. I just select 'Not Attending' and the problem is done with.

Whenever the server goes down or some kinda IT related problem occurs in our department, I secretly swear at you in my head. "DAMMIT DAVE, YOU ARE THE IT DEPARTMENT - FIX IT!!!"

[Kandyapple]

Perhaps I've totally missed it, but I also hate that when you select "not attending" it still keeps it on your upcoming events page. I haven't seen a quick option to delete it as well. You need to go into each event and actually remove it.
I want to just have the events I've said yes or maybe too, not still have to sift through the spam even after I said I'm not interested.

Promoters can send msgs to everyone invited. Thats why they created this feature.

[ppcock]

I've used it and it's great.
but more importantly I deleted those people who spam the shit out of me with stupid events.

[Gusto]

thanks for the heads up on this, didn't know it was available.

[Carrie]

I actually declined promotions groups a long time ago.

I get enough emails from them that I don't need them on my FB

If someone specifies no as not attending, they won't get a message.

[miss.myra]

why send the messages in the first place?

Actually yeah I eat my words! But if someone ignores the invitation by not clicking attend and just leaving it there, promoters still have the option to send msgs.

Which is shit if you ask me.
