Partially Approved Make it possible to invite multiple users at once

[Lily]

im pretty sure this isn't a thing already but feel free to clown me if it is
Ever since the ionext tickbox has been implemented, I've run into a lot of invite-only games. This makes it pretty annoying when I'm laddering with friends watching; it's not really a big deal to have to do

/invite name1
/invite name2
/invite name3

but it'd be a lot easier to be able to do something like

/invite name1, name2, name3

and would make my laddering experience a lot more intuitive since I could just copypaste the command every time.

Thank you in advance!

This was intentional, I believe, to prevent people flooding invites to others.

Currently, you can use /invite (username), (room) to invite someone to a room. This functionality would have to be removed or moved to another command were this to be implemented, and as PartMan said, I would fully expect malicious users to spam invites to staff.

Is there any form of compromise? Not sure how possible it'd be, but a command that's specifically in-battle (/battleinvite? idk lol I'm not good at naming things) wouldn't mean removing the functionality of other commands, right? Doesn't solve the issue of ppl spamming staff members, though. Maybe a "blocking invites" toggle could be a thing (staff obviously won't want to block PMs but idt there's an issue with blocking invites, unless I'm missing something super obvious) but I understand if that's a bit too far out of reach. Thank you either way, though!

We can probably change it so that `/invite (username), (room)` is removed or renamed. I agree that inviting multiple users is more convenient.

We're also going to update it so that after next restart, you'll be able to just send them the link.

quick question, is it possible to implement a cap for the number of users you want to invite to (at least) prevent some form of spam?

Not an update on the suggestion itself, but there was a match yesterday where one of the players spammed invites and encouraged spamming, resulting in (I think) half a dozen locks. Unsure what effect this has on the consideration of this suggestion.

Since I'm not sure if this would warrant a new suggestion or not, I'll ask it here:
Would it be possible to enable inviting multiple users when it comes to groupchats (in my specific case, it would make things a lot easier when setting up user-hosted tournaments in the tours room)? Reading back on this thread, it seems that there was some discussion on something like this being used to potentially spam other users (staff in particular). Now that groupchats have been restricted to trusted users only, I'm curious to know if that changes anything in terms of whether or not the suggestion would be approved.

Partially approving this for now. I'm fine with removing /invite (username), (room). Let's start with that and work from there.
