A club can invite 30 members in a 24 hour period using the "Invite Members" option in the "Manage Club" box on their club site. That's 30 members for the entire club and NOT for each administrator.
How many people can we invite a day? And if we do, should we increase/decrease it?

The reason for the invite tool is to a) limit how much people get spammed by invites, and b) give a method of bulk inviting rather than manually copy/pasting the same message to many different people.
If people just used PMs, there would be no limit, and no way for people to say "stop inviting me!" other than to restrict PMs completely. The invite tool is limited to 30/day so people don't get dozens of invite PMs every day, and you can completely block invites if you find you get too many.

Is it the official policy of chess.com to not allow admins to p.m. people inviting them to their clubs?

I can't imagine that chess.com would try to tell you what you can say in a PM.

The rules are clear:
"post any comments, text, messages, or links in the forums or any public comments that contain any advertisements of any kind, including religious, political, or recruiting messages for Chess.com groups, clubs, blogs, or any other content on or off of Chess.com;"
https://www.chess.com/agreement
That said, chess.com will not sanction if you ask a friend to join your club. I believe they will only take action if it appears that you are spamming strangers with invites in PM... or making excessive posts in public forums with advertisements for your club.
Yes, this was a discussion in the notes. The other main discussion was why the invites reset 24 hours after the last one is used up, vs. resetting at a fixed time each day.

You won't get in trouble if you PM a friend about a club they're likely to be interested in, but people have been muted for spamming invites in PMs.
If everyone used PMs, there would be no limit on invites and everyone would get spammed by a large number of invites every day, with no way to block it other than to restrict PMs to friends.

Oh, but it does. Try telling someone in a private message that the John Lennon song "Woman Is the N_____ of the World" was written as a way of communicating solidarity with the women's rights movement or of drawing attention to how women had been oppressed--but write the actual title, not the sanitized version I've just given--and you'll see that you *cannot* send it.

Just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of the auto-mod in PMs. It seems Big Brotherish, and it gets a LOT of false positives. I've also seen people get it by it when trying to forward abusive content to a mod. It's also very easy to circumvent if someone really wants to cause trouble.
I understand why it was added. There's a lot of abuse that happens in PMs, and this catches a lot of that. But I think the negatives outweigh the positives.
Dunno, saw this discussion in the notes a lot
