"If you could create a user that does not have the ability to invite people to join the site that would allow for a safe environment to display sensitive information.

"$#^^ I feel pretty foolish b/c I set up a private site for a group, invited them as Writers, and did not read the fine print. I just assumed that they would not be able to invite others. (in fact part of my opening invitation message to them told them that they could not invite others.)

Boy, was I surprised to see new member of the wiki that I had no idea were being invited. But I was more surprised that I couldn't choose a permissions level that would deny site members the invite function.

Now I need to tell members not to invite, even though they can.

An invite level w/o giving invite function is absolutely essential.

Help!"

"I think that the site description should not be displayed on the private site for someone who is not a member. Eg. it says that this wiki is private and for members only but it gives a description of the site. If the person was making a site and put in a description, it may give the whole thing away. Eg. top secret mission called "wetpaint secret" that involves having a secret wetpaint clan. Everyone will know!!!"

"But what I am saying is that the sites owner who may be new to wetpaint may not realise the descrpition is there or know how to change it. It does seem strange to have a description of the site displayed to the public on a private site."

"True, but as a Creator, I may want interested people to apply for admission. I always prefer the option.

If I can get the conversation back to the important issue here, it is that now there is really no private wetpaint site with more than one member b/c invitations are not solely determined by the Creator.
