     7 Introduction
       
     8 ============
       
     9 
       
    10 Invites are an intermediate way between opening registrations completely and
       
    11 closing registrations completely.
       
    12 
       
    13 By letting users invite other users to the server, an administrator exposes
       
    14 themselves again to the risk of abuse.
       
    15 
       
    16 To combat that abuse more effectively, this module allows to store (outside
       
    17 of the user’s information) who created an invite which was used to create the
       
    18 user’s account.

    27 
       
    28 - The information is not deleted even when the associated user accounts are
       
    29   deleted.
       
    30 - Currently, there is no way to make any use of that information.
