Will our Lord Gaben kick me pretty hard if I release a plugin wich, by a command, invite someome to a steam group ?

Exemple :
!steamgroup -> receive a steamgroup join request.

That would be a cool release.

I can't imagine it being not allowed, unless it automatically made you join the group without you accepting it.

It is not allowed - it is too easy to abuse and will be removed.

Yes, since you don't send a invite, but you just open your steam group page, through MOTD (I guess ?).

Just keep it to yourself pl0x. Like TF2 attachables and etc, there will always be assholes who will change the code and abuse it.

If people want a steambot autoinviter, let them go through the grind of coding it themselves (or pay a lumpsum to someone to write one - at least don't make it easy for them to get, lol).

I don't want to make someone pay for something that trivial. Also, if you make them pay, you can be sure at 100% that he will share it, and, guess who would be the @sshole at the end ? You. So, no, I will definitly not do that.

It's mostly worthless nowadays anyways, as soon as you get above 1k (or sometimes 10k) members, it will slow sending invites down to like one every 15 minutes (if they even go through).
