FAQ 103: How many invite codes can I generate? How can I get more? states:
In addition to invite codes gained by virtue of account type, you can also earn invite codes by contributing to LiveJournal. To learn about the different ways you can contribute to LiveJournal, see http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=57.To an unsuspecting visitor, this clearly implies that any way of contribution that is listed in that FAQ will get you an invite code.

I don't have any specific idea of how exactly to change this, but that's no surprise at this late hour. Please discuss! ;-)
