'Cause I was asked to. o3o
Your opinion of random group requests? I don't like them, since they don't whisper you asking if you're interested or even that species, and they usually spam you with 20 of them. e.e

Indeed. Sometimes when I sit around as a pokemon, I get a bunch of requests for a dragon or a wolf group. And since everything goes to crap when I try to get a bunch of pokes into a group, that's not a good defense mechanism. GDI.

So I walk to the Stone Bridge on my Stripey....
And I get who knows how many pack requests.
Lolwut.

These guys... I always get spammed with LION PRIDE requests when I roleplay my COUGAR. It's like people think that any sandy-colored animal with a mane is a lion. My kitsune sometimes gets wolf pack join-spammed... I mean, it has 9 tails and spiritual markings... OMG IT HAS CANINE MODEL! IT SHULD JOIN MY PACK! PLZ JOIN! PLZ PLZ, WE NEED PPL! Yeah, no. Even with my fursona, who happens to be a lone wolf, and yes, I intend on staying a lone wolf, get's spammed with pack requests.

This annoys me deeply. So, I'm just sitting around and having a good time. *Bloop!* Ah, a new group request? What is it? *Opens Tab* "the foxs of bunfire" *Searches up group* *Clicks on* *Looks at leader *Finds* *Whispers* "I do not appreciate you inviting me without a notice." "so" "So? I don't want you inviting me without asking me. I find it very rude." "whatever *blocks*"
That immature little... Oh well. At least I won't get invite-spammed anymore!
That's pretty much what I do. On occasions when they don't block me, and when I get on a character, I do this:
Chilling out... *Bloop!* Oh God, is it... *Opens Tab* "wolfs of the son" *Joins, surprisingly*
Piru has joined "wolfs of the son"
<death f alpha> welcome
<shadow m pup> welcome!11! *Typing*
<Drake M Alpha> Welcome to the pack.
<Goth f pup> dad im going to die from falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<Piru> Hello, wolfs of the son. I do not appreciate when you randomly invite me. This has happened to four of my characters. A simple whisper or a message could be nice. I have some advice. Please, do not invite me, or others without them knowing. Good day.
<Goth f pup> is ded
Piru has left the group.
So, that's really my.. Opinion on random group invites. All in all, they're PRETTY annoying.

I don't get these a lot but when I do get these random group invites, it can get annoying, especially when they send it multiple times or when someone walks around a highly-populated part of the map and starts sending random group invites to everybody there. Honestly, I believe I get more Whispers asking if I am in need of a group more than random group invites.
-
These can be quite annoying as they randomly send you requests even though you have no idea what that group is about or if your the same species as they are.
-
Yes, I'd say it's an annoying thing which happens a tad too often.
However, I don't think it's the end of the world either. ^^

The easiest and best way to avoid having this is honestly to bump a random group onto your profile either by making one or joining a friends random one.
iRawr is an example since it made for this exact reason, just a group to avoid getting invites and having the chat showing group chat leaks such as "Feral Joined <Grouphere>" "Feral left <Grouphere>". If you have a character you just want to "be" in the game with going around groupless can become a bit of an annoyance if you get invites on the go all the time.
The few times I personally have been receiving invites like this I have been quick to shoot them down, if the creator of the group doesn't even want to spend a few seconds letting me know about the group, why should I spend time on a character for their group really. In a way, people running around and just invite users randomly to their group do not take the group itself seriously so you shouldn't either. Random derp groups can be fun too of course don't get me wrong, but getting to know or talk to the users you invite shouldn't be too hard if you really want "them" in your group or look for certain characters that they might use.
-
To be honest, I don't really have a problem with this. Occasionally I might get a single group request, but that's it
-
I don't have a problem with getting random group requests, but the creator of the group should not have a problem with me rejecting the request either.
There's nothing that I dislike more than a guilt trip from the creator who begins whispering and asking me to justify my rejection of the invitation. That's when I go "What"? You don't have to justify the reason for randomly inviting me, but I have to justify my reason to reject it? Nope.
If they can't be bothered to even ask me if I want to join the group, then why should I be bothered to join it? It should be common knowledge that you're pretty much playing the lottery if you run around randomly inviting people and if you lose, you don't run up to the host and start questioning why your number didn't win, do you?

Yeah I've gotten requests like this from time to time. Like posts above, I'm not about to join some random group that I don't even know about. Call me picky, but the group has to be welcoming and perfect [to me] to make me join in the first place.
I often whisper the group owner that I'm not interested and reject the group invite. However, I rarely get that one person who doesn't seem to notice my whisper and sends another one. Usually that's when I accept the group to tell them that I wasn't interested and leave.
Yeah that's when I sometimes get that Whisper saying I was rude for joining and leaving without giving them a chance. I think only on guy I've ever rejected from asked me why I didn't want to join and kept persisting on me giving him an answer. I said clearly: Because I don't know anything about it, I do have my own rp I am 100% devoted to, I was on this character to simply lounge. I then suggested he make a site or some place to post some information if he didn't want to type it out. The good members are ones who are willing to read about your group. He said it was a waste of his time, and I told him "Uh so is asking me all these questions." Never spoke to me again.

It honestly depends on how severe it is! I generally just ignore them or quickly create my own group; they're mildly irritating at times, but otherwise harmless and easily ignored. It's usually an overly eager new player so it's difficult to validate an unnecessarily harsh response. If I'm particularly groggy, or they're annoyingly persistent, I'll join the group and explain in polite, excruciating and boring detail about FH's various recruitment methods. A bit pedantic I'll admit, but it's arguably a bit more helpful than yelling at them!

I am not the biggest of fans on random group requests. Though if you send me a random request I will tel them a very kind declination on their group invite or if my character is not meant for role-playing then I will refer them to my bio.
-
I rarely get group spammed, but it happened to me before. So now I make my own group, usually called "hell no" or "not joining your group". With a silly bio.
I think it's very annoying to get spammed with group requests. You have to decline them all, and imagine if you misclicked on accept... UGH.
I don't cuss on the person who sent them, though (being on SB and not knowing who sent it, anyway), but I usually post a kindly warning in local, without mentionning the group. They recognize themselves and stop, while others avoid doing the same mistake. ovo

Honestly, this happened to me only one time. Someone invited me to join group named 'Puss in boots'
Quite interesting name, but I just ignored the invitation..
