Our forum moderators determined that they’d rather have the community invite the ‘moderators’ group to a topic that needs attention as opposed to creating a post, and using `@moderators`.

However, this is the error message that pops-up when I try to invite the moderators group:

Initially thought that “rate limited” referred to how many users I could invite in a 24-hour period, but as a “Regular”, I tested this theory by inviting 20+ users to a topic within several minutes.

Perhaps “rate limited” could also refer to how many users can be invited in one-go but our moderators group consists of a measly 14 users.

Another theory I had was that one of the users, “system”, couldn’t be invited, but that theory proved wrong too. I tested inviting each moderator individually to a topic to make sure that it wasn’t a problem with their account but it seems to be fine (I could manually invite all the moderators).

**Additional Information:**

- The forum that we’re using doesn’t use email for accounts, but is linked and created by another account unique to each user.

- Unfortunately we don’t have another group on our forum, so I can’t see if I can invite other groups besides moderators. And the admin is never active, so it’s hard to get into contact.

- I just noticed that most Discourse forums don’t have the `Invite` feature for normal topics, just messages. However, would the behavior of a ‘normal’ topic and a message be the same?

Thanks in advance.
