Since they log everything, if a character is sending large amounts of
money to different people it will log suspcious.

Since they're likely sending out multiple invites at once I don't
think this really slows them down. Join them and report them.

If you join their group, right-clicking the name tag on their spam

would think far more irritating to the spammers to have their
chars/accounts continously closed down. I rarely get invited by the
same character even in the same day.
