Great point!

I've tweaked the algorithm a bit. Milovana Team members now get 25 invites. Also, the following users who have invited a bunch of members already get higher numbers of invites in case they wish to continue their good deeds!
  • NEGEV - 100
  • Sisyphuster - 40
  • addNtoX - 40
  • Shattered - 40
  • [Milovana Team] - 25
  • zoltan - 15
  • Koenlol1 - 15
  • [Regular Users] - 4
  • [New Users] - 0
The limit gets reset every four months, i.e. NEGEV can invite 100 people per four months, zoltan can invite up to 15 people per four months etc. However, invites do not accumulate, i.e. you'll never have more than your limit number of active invites. If you use them, they regenerate. If you don't use them, you don't get any extras.

Major :love: to everyone who is helping bring new non-spam users to the site. It's obviously super-early, but afaict so far we've only admitted humans. Stay vigilant!

Several people have asked whether to allow in users with no Reddit history. It's obviously up to the inviter - it's their reputation, their risk. But I'd say history isn't a requirement, posting a message on Reddit seems to be too much work for most spammers already. If we start to have issues, we can always tighten our standards.

So I'm quoting you specifically but this goes for anyone that GIVES goes on reddit or even here.
There are bots that browse reddit, twitch, etc looking for Beta keys and product keys and friend keys for games. Guess what, these invite codes will become the same thing if a spam site really wants to hit us. They'll grab as many codes up and sell them to the spam site which will then influx the site and make tons of crap and spam posts all over.

How do you combat this?
Easy, PM the code to the account that is looking for it. Or dont just post the code out in the open as is. Take out a letter or number and leave a guide to it. So if the code ends with an 8, leave a ? at the end of the code and say in the line after that its the number after 7. These key grab bots just C&P the code as is, they'll get a faulty code if they copy it with the ? in it and wont fix the ? like a normal person would and will.

Will we have this issue to begin with? Not a freaking clue, but we can head it off at the pass. So I would like this to be ether paraphrased or C&P'd onto the subreddit somewhere and @seraph0x add this to the main post maybe?

If I can get infinites then I can stick in my Tumblr bio that I can offer registration for anyone looking if that is helpful at all! :)
Go for it! When you run out of your initial four, let us know and I'll get you some more!

How I decide whether to up the limit

I should probably explain how I decide whether to give someone extra invites: I look primarily at the number of their codes that have already been redeemed. Note that if you give out codes and people don't redeem them, I can't see that. My recommendation would be that you should give the same code to someone else - perhaps letting the original recipient know that they waited too long. Maybe also let people know upfront that they should redeem their code right away or risk losing it.

(It's a bit weird if you give a code to someone else and then the original recipient redeems it before the new recipient has a chance to. If that becomes an issue, I'll add a feature where the owner of an invite can re-issue the codes. I.e. take an existing invite and just generate a new code for it, invalidating the old one. But I don't want to make this too complicated if I don't need to.)

In the future, the idea is that getting additional invites will depend largely on the quality of your initial invites. If you invite four people and two of them made highly rated teases, expect to get a lot of invites. If you invite four people and two of them are spammers and the other two never log in, don't expect to get your limit upped. For right now, I'm happy to be a little bit more lenient as we work through the backlog of people who've been waiting to get on the site.

Reducing limits back to normal

Another quick point to set expectations: Limit increases aren't permanent - if you get a high limit, but you never invite anybody, expect the limit to get lowered back down after a while. That said, we will never deactivate your existing invite codes except if you invite a bunch of spammers and we're trying to plug the hole. (...poor choice of words...)

Great, I've made a thread on the reddit for people to get codes. Hopefully I've done enough to make only humans get em, but I'll take Mistress Jenifers advice as well when giving them out. I'll try clear some of the backlog of user requests!

Thank you, but I don't see the new codes in my account. It still lists 3 redeemed, 1 available. I'd love the extra invites.

Yea we are already doing this a bit atleast I only send them out through a pm. For me at the moment the second option would be to time assuming. We have a lot of people which were seeking a acc for a long time. I think we can say that if we look at the high numbers of people asking for an invite. I dont think someone has yet build a bot which would spam to get a code and than log in to milovana to spam here. We have the invite thing for some days and even if someone opens one acc with a spam bot that bot could be easily banned. I am already looking with strg + f if I read a message which seemed if it was already written the exact same way. As I see it we have yet to see a spam issue through the new accounts and if we see a rising spam problem we should adjust but right not we need to get the people onboard which lurked through milovana for months before they are gone for good.

We could only open a thread which makes this apparent. The old mod of the subreddit has deleted his reddit acc therefore we can not post something in the rules. I am trying to become a mod at the moment through r/redditrequest but I am not sure if they will let me do it because my acc should be older with more karma so we will see.

I handed out all of my invite codes. Not all of them have been redeemed, but still I can't hand anymore out.

Could I get more codes?

I've had a couple of people ask for codes on Tumblr so far, but they've actually looked like spam accounts. So I've Not handed anybout so far, but I've offered some to a few people who've messaged me there in the past asking about the registration situation here. I'm waiting to hear back though.

We've got a Milo group on Fetlife so I'm going to put a heads up on there, if people want to go and hand out codes to legit people there go for it. Here's a link to the post.

I think the 25 I have should be enough for now though.

Hi all, I have used all mine (3 activated and just given out the 4th). I still have a few people I could invite, is it possible to get a few more?

Cheers
