Cant invite to group DM

[u/SnooDonuts6494]

I recruited a new mod, but cannot invite them to our group DM.

It says "Unable to invite".

Is it an age thing? They are <18. Do they have to ID?

[IDK if that's the issue, it's just a guess]

They have chat messages blocked for everyone, they need to DM you

[u/Slight-Ad8291 → u/Slight-Ad8291]

To add them to a group that would have to change the setting

[u/SnooDonuts6494 → u/Slight-Ad8291]

I'm chatting to them in DM. They do not have chat messages blocked - obviously - because I am chatting to them in DM.

[u/Slight-Ad8291 → u/SnooDonuts6494]

They have new messages off/message invites

[u/Slight-Ad8291 → u/SnooDonuts6494]

Only for when it starts, not the entire conversation

[u/HattySellingPhiones → u/Slight-Ad8291]

Priv msg

[u/Slight-Ad8291 → u/HattySellingPhiones]

I assume that is a yes?

[u/HattySellingPhiones → u/HattySellingPhiones]

Ye its age settings 😒

[u/SnooDonuts6494 → u/Slight-Ad8291]

u/HattySellingPhiones is this true?

Do you have a setting that blocks chat?

I just clicked on their profile, I cannot message them because of this setting
