I just created an invite link for the first time and accidentally clicked on it. However, it turns out you can actually invite yourself. After accepting, I got a notification saying that I accepted my invitation request.
I’m highly assuming this is not intended, and this has probably been a bug for a while. I used @9pfs1 invite link beforehand, so it didn’t update my user profile, but theirs shows they were invited by themselves too!
Yep, although issues with Discourse should probably be reported to Discourse. I think while it works, if you click another invite link it will change you to being invited to them (permanently) and I think it isn’t counted for badge stats, but that said I’m not sure.
Sorry, I get confused about what kind of stuff is Ask-related versus all of Discourse. I’ll be sure to report this kind of thing on Meta from now on. Thank you for the reply!
No need I have already reproted it months ago. Basicly they agree its an issue but its not a problem. I just changed the query for the invite badges so the don’t cant towards it.
