Re-send all pending invitations

AI-generated summary

A discussion titled “Re-send all pending invitations” began with rhyolight expressing frustration with manually resending pending invitations. codinghorror suggested adding a “resend all pending invites” button, which techAPJ implemented. The feature is now available, visible when there are 5 or more pending invites.

rhyolight and techAPJ also addressed rate limits for this feature. Initially, it was limited to 1 resend per day for non-staff, and 10 per hour. However, codinghorror pointed out that the feature should only be available to staff. techAPJ then made the feature staff-only. The discussion also touched on applying rate limits to staff users, with techAPJ considering amending the RateLimiter library to achieve this.

I just spent 10 minutes clicking the 884 times on the /invited/pending page.

Sure, @techapj can you add to your list a “resend all pending invites” button for this page? Makes sense.

Would non staff even ever see this button to resend all invites? I don’t know why it should even be offered to non staff. @riking was proposing rate limits even for admins here so I feel there has been a giant miscommunication…

Okay, I made this feature staff only.

Regarding rate limits even for admins, our current RateLimiter library makes the rate unlimited for staff users.

Should I amend the library to allow rate limits to be applied on staff users too?
