The only reasonable explanation that i can see about this policy is that facebook just wanted to make more profits through this policy.They just didn’t care if it’s gonna be less excitement for the user.

I see some apps still giving incentives (like cash) for inviting friends. So is there a team enforcing it thoroughly or is it through snitches only?

i dont understand…people do choose to whom they will send the invitations and add to that anyone who wont like the type of the invitation always has the right to ignore it so why make a rule for things that dont need it ?

Yea With this BS lots of games are going to die. the blood games have already suffered big… I mean the only people that get the incentive are the people who play and they only invite there friends. So I think Facebook is going to be getting some money from the points that people will now buy and thats why they did this.

I find the whole thing hypocritical. Facebook continually encourages me to invite people I don’t know to be my friend and of course always wants us to invite new users as well.. But when apps within facebook try to do the same thing they get penalised. I agree that some apps take it overboard but put out blanket bans on all apps is just lazy and inappropriate.

And whatever they say it does destroy the effectiveness of some apps. One app I play regularly has almost ground to a halt because of the automatic restrictions that Facebook continues to apply and which the developer isn’t around enough to counter.

We’re all adults here and we are quite capable of using the ‘block this application’ feature to stop endless unwanted invites so give it up and treat us like adults.

Cheers.

the invites are only done by people who are playing the games, so i dont understand what the problem is ! kinda taking a big part of the game out which in turn is gonna turn people off to the games !! not a smart move on this one !
