I, for one, would appreciate it being kept as is. Keep in mind not all of us have the same goals for our forums... the one I'm discussing is intentionally small. (Sounds like me and dcpaq2 are on the same page on this one.) My forum isn't about thousands of eyeballs and advertising dollars; it's more about a small, quality membership of friends and friends of friends.
I feel it should be left up to the moderator to decide if an "invite trumps all" on their forum. The inability to moderate invites before they go out is one issue, and the inability to prevent invites from going to known troublemakers is yet another. But we've already discussed those issues.
Allowing invites to completely bypass the email verification and user moderation would make this a much less useful add-on, at least for me. Choice and control is always good. I'm able to work with this hack in it's current state, but if I had to forgo user moderation in future versions, I'd probably skip the upgrade or stop using the Invite System entirely.
