> [@tgxworld](#): > > Invite the target user into the topic but automatically set the notification level to muted. The issue with this approach might be if a muted user invites another user to a certain topic that topic will become muted for invited user. They will not get anymore notifications from that topic just because a muted user invited them to that topic. Also in case of PMs, inviting a user will create a small action post which will make other participants believe that invited user is aware of discussion/conversation, however since the invite was from a muted user the invited user will not be aware of the conversation, and moreover the future mentions will not create any notifications if we set notification level to `muted` for that PM. > [@tgxworld](#): > > Check for the users which have muted the current user and remove them from the autocomplete. If the user manually types the username into the form and submits, raise a generic message like “The current user is not accepting invitations at the moment”. This sounds like a better solution but the error message will raise eyebrows and the curious inviter might eventually realize that they have been muted? 😄 @codinghorror any thoughts about the potential solution here? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/making-it-so-other-users-cant-invite-you-to-a-topic/63311)._
