The reason I don't want the number of invite codes per person to get insanely high is because I want to put a bit of a damper on having a few people who are "inviters" and are doing all the work of growing the community. dragoul and NEGEV have done their part. It's time for the rest of us to step up!

We're not a for-profit site (right now at least) and as a result, I'm not too concerned about growing at the fastest possible rate. If you want to see more teases and you're lucky enough to have an account, pop over to Reddit and hand out your four codes.

One thing that would be interesting to think about is a way to streamline the invite process. This doesn't sound very nice:

Creating a public, anonymous chat room is one option.

Another idea would be to create a page where people who want an account can go, enter their details (desired account name, email, etc.) and write a short paragraph why they should get an invite. When members go to that page, they can read the paragraphs that people wrote and click "Invite". When they click "Invite", one of their invite codes is automatically used to admit that member to Milovana. If a request is unfilled for more than, say, two days it is automatically deleted. That and the fact that only members can even read these requests might be enough to deter people from posting spam on that page. (Which would be a bit ironic otherwise.)

One question is whether spammers will actually get sophisticated enough to write a convincing-looking paragraph about why they should get an account. Probably worth just trying it out and seeing what happens. My hunch is that it will be enough of a barrier to get very few spammers coming through and as long as it's a reasonable number we can deal with it by banning them.

The problem is streamlining the process too much might undermine what we're trying to achieve by having an invite system in the first place.

How do you feel about this idea? Worth a try?

Having every thread be "can someone send me an invite code" is ugly when it could be condensed so easily. I'm also suffering from the 1 post every 10 minutes on reddit since I didn't have an account on there before.

p.s. thanks for the extra codes seraph0x, I've been a regular visitor for ages but mostly as a lurker.

We don't have a mod right now. A request has been made to r/redditrequest.

If we get the sub I'd be looking for a sticky for invites and then auto-ban fulls posts. Currently me and someone else trying for it, if successful we will clean it up a bit

Here is a new Subreddit for Milovana
I guess it would make sense to make Draugol and Shattered also mods
