Way to Remove Invite Limit on FBML Multi-Friend Selector

Question

Hi there,

I tried to look through various resources before posting here, but was having a surprisingly difficult time finding an answer to my question. Sorry in advance if I overlooked it.

I'm currently trying to add the FBML Multi-Friend Selector to my Facebook page. It has a limit on the number of friends you can invite at a time ("Add up to 20 of your friends by clicking on their pictures below"). From what I've looked through it sounds like 20 is the max number of friends a user can invite, but then looking at Mint's page, they have a 22 max invite (http://www.facebook.com/mint?ref=ts)

I thought it might be based on number of page fans, as Mint has 56,000, but that doesn't seem to be the case as this page only has 256 fans and have a max of 26 friend invites (http://www.facebook.com/tivix?v=app_106437999388442).

Therefore, I don't really understand how this system works. Is there a way for me to increase to 26? Unlimited?

Thanks for your help!

As Yuliy says, those limits are there for a reason. That's not to say that you're a spammer, but Facebook doesn't know that.

Facebook don't publicise exactly how they determine your daily invite allocation, but it's likely to do with the proportion of invites that are accepted compared to those that are ignored or blocked.

Keep an eye on your statistics, particularly your allocations. (This link will only work for Tivix developers.)

If the quality of your invites is low, your daily limit will be low. Maybe instead of trying to increase the quantity of invites, you should be focusing on the quality. (Sorry for being preachy!) Having more accepted invites will be better for you as well as for those who receive them.
