An invite is free solicitation. You don't need to ask someone if it's okay to send them an invite. That's what the accept & decline is for. Spam would be if you've received it multiple times after you've hit decline multiple times. People forget that the public space is free solicitation, freedom of expression, & welcoming.

I disagree. When I want to enter a space, I request it. When you want to find people intrested in your topic, you can post about it or write a comment to make publicity for it. When you know a user and send him an invitation as a friend this is an other case. But to unknown users, I would consider this spam.
Well we disagree then. If someone on the street offers you a flyer you don't go to them dude I don't know you. Most people usually take it & if they accept they show up if they decline they throw out the flyer. An invite to a community is basically the same thing that's what the accept & decline buttons are for. It's not spam to get it once.
