>I ask: if Google does not block outside requests, what could they do to stop this sort of thing?

Have a separate "spam gchat invite" folder that you could review periodically to look for false positives.



What's it based on? It's just invites.


Right now, it could be a list of all invitations that come from non-google domains. I assume they could do better than that over time, but my point is that "decline and log for review" is an option whenever "decline alone" is. On review, you could whitelist the false positives.
