SYMPTOMS
A chat user creates an Invite Only channel and sets a member limit for the channel; however, they can still invite other chat users after the channel has reached its capacity.



STATUS
This behavior is by design. An official invitation allows the invited user to enter a channel despite:


 * The channel's member limits (but not the server-wide channel member limit).
 * A channel ban on the user that is invited.
 * The fact that a non-authenticated user may enter if invited by a host.
 * The existence of a keyword.



MORE INFORMATION
Server-wide channel member limit settings (for dynamic channels) are still checked and applied.
