  • Did you request an invite? Why not?

  • I've heard people claim that there is an auto invite system for active SO users. But I don't know if such a system actually exists or works.

  • Then it was already requested. Getting an invite is not automatic, you know. They actually look at the details you posted to decide if they want to give one out.

  • @CodeInChaos: Yes, there is an automatically invite if you reach a certain threshold in a (certain?) tag. Don't ask me about details...

Requested invites go into a queue, invites do not go out immediately. This message means you already have a request in queue.

We process this queue manually, so it might take a few days for your request to be processed.

    Perhaps make the error message a bit clearer, so it's obvious that the invite hasn't been sent out yet, and that they need to wait until it's manually reviewed.

  • And as we are on the topic of invites, does the auto-invite system actually exist/work?

  • Does asking for an invite automatically mean an invite? Do you send out reject emails as well?

  • @CodeInChaos yes there is an automatic system for invites that is based on your activity on SO, however how it works is magic and I am not allowed to pull the curtain back.

  • @Oded we do reject candidates from the queue silently. The invite system goes through regular revisions, but I can tell you a few things for certain, particularly about the invite request. MOST of the invites tell us to look at the persons linked in, blog, github and/or stack overflow accounts, but do not link to them. That is guaranteed to get you rejected. Linking to an open source account which just has a bunch of cloned repos and no personal commits is also not going to get you in.
