Send Validation EMail

[FrankM]

I am testing on my forum. So i have create an new user. Because an typo the mail address was wrong. So no validation email. Ok, no problem. I go to admin panel and will send an new validation email, but....

I think this can be better solved.

Just to confirm, you tried to send the confirmation email as an admin and got this error? I think we should allow admins to bypass the time limit.

Please do so, let me know if you want a github issue...

when we are having password-reset problems with users, that time limit also prevents us to send emails through ACP right away...

Yes, send email as admin.

closed admins should be exempt from time limit when sending validation email #8323

@baris Have we given any thought to the havoc such could wreak on the Internet at large when an admin account becomes compromised? Maybe not such a bad idea to enforce some minimal delay?
