don't think it's 'a lot', but makes sense
Hide "Invite To Join My Club" button
When I send out invitations to one of my clubs, I regularly encounter members who do not accept club invites. Fair enough -- but wouldn't it be a nice idea to hide the "Invite To Join My Club" button with these players? This would save a lot of unnecessary action.
You should send me an invite so I can decline XD jk I'll consider it, but I'm more here focused on the site, and having fun playing chess. Just a quick question (for I guess whoever from the staff look at this)... By hiding the invite button, do you mean the players choose to hide it? or if you've already sent an invite, you cannot send another one? I think the main issue here is most players (I speak as myself) probably never even visit the settings page unless they need to go on vacation. Choosing to have to refuse to show a button is "too much effort" and although I agree that it may be simple, it is a lot of clicking. If chess.com had a required question on the server that stopped people from playing before they answered yes or no, I think it's definitely feasible. The only other thing that may happen though, is some people are specific to select groups, so they may want to know when they are eligible to join a certain group (idk why they wouldn't be allowed to in the first place unless it was some sort of elite rating club or it was chess.com staff only) but other than that I like this idea.
The default for all chess.com members is that you can send them invitations, of course. No problem in this case. If they know about this and want a change, members may deactivate the option "Allow Club Invitations". It's then still possible to send them an invitation (by clicking on the "Invite To Join My Club" button, type in a text and press on "Send" -- but then you receive an automated response "X is not accepting club invites!" This is irritating and could be avoided if the "Invite To Join My Club" button would be hidden under these circumstances.

Ahhhhhhh I see... I don't really know because I don't/can't invite people to any clubs. But definitely makes sense and I agree that should be fixed.
