Can an admin create a staged user?

I think then you see a different error

This error seems to be caused by another check that checks for a username, group, or email address entered into the recipient field

lib/topic_creator.rb

          if @opts[:target_usernames].blank? && @opts[:target_emails].blank? &&
               @opts[:target_group_names].blank?
            rollback_with!(topic, :no_user_selected)
          end
          
          if @opts[:target_emails].present? && !@guardian.can_send_private_messages_to_email?
            rollback_with!(topic, :send_to_email_disabled)
          end

@tknospdr what exactly did you enter into the recipient field? Was there anything special about that e-mail address?
