On Facebook, you can be invited to an event by any of your friends. Once you have been invited to an event, the admins of that event can send messages straight to your inbox even if you have not sent an RSVP to that event. My problem with this system is that it essentially forces you to opt out of events rather than opt in. I shouldn't have to say I'm not going to a spammy event about some club night in order to not receive their advertisements. They should not be able to message me until I have accepted their invitation.
Is it possible to set this up? If not, are there any other steps I can take to lessen event spam?
