Team invites can already be blocked which, in PVP, is a horrible idea that needs to be changed. Teaming should be automatic in PVP, but sure, outside of that I'm indifferent.
I actually think that the random blind fleet invites from people I've never heard of before (nor from again) are kind of funny. But if there was a way to block them, aside from setting up your own dummy fleet, that wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
A dummy fleet has more benifits. Mine started as a dummy fleet but ive been thinking of making it more real.
If only there was a communications feedback loop you could send out and blow up the offending partys ship.
Remember that some, and i stress SOME, of these random invites (fleet/challange/Friend) may be simple mistakes as well.
I've done it myself a few times, mainly with challanges, when trying to get up private PVP matches. If you've ever set one up you'll notice that the invite screen can flicker a bit changing your invite selections, if you don't catch it the wrong person gets the challange. I usually try to send a "pls ignore ... sry" tell.
Someone I know also sent an invite to fleet instead of team in a PVP match.
Now, are there people out there that send random TRIBBLE on purpose .... yes. I just click the ignore/leave/cancel/no button and move on.

True...some are just mistakes,but getting 5 such invites from the same person in a row.....that's just begging for the ignore button.:D
I have team invites turned off by default. But fleet invites do get annoying. If I want to join your fleet, I'll ask you. If you want to recruit me, send me an email.
Aw come on...everyone wants to join my super cool fleet that I started 10 mind ago with bad spelling/ grammar or has a name that is completely unoriginial. We also have 1 bank tab 4 members all alts of mine. So join the 12345th Tactical/science-random sci fi name fleet. We also have a klingon fleet that's just as stupid.
