Because it was initialized here:
```plaintext
unless group = self.lookup_group(name)
group = Group.new(name: name.to_s, automatic: true)
group.id = id
group.save!
end
```
and it had no special case for everyone

Anyways @elliem reported it actually _notifies_ everyone, is that the case?

It does not … typing [@everyone](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/everyone) does not notify [@everyone](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/everyone) on the site.

Ok then as long as it can’t be typed that should stop the confusion. Closing this.

The OP here is fixed:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/9a94d1b2126a8722089114ff67b82f2d0564f5ce](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/9a94d1b2126a8722089114ff67b82f2d0564f5ce)
everyone is no longer visible anywhere in the UI, it is used internally only.
[@trust\_level\_0](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/trust_level_0) though is a group of all active users on the site, so if you are itching to spam everyone you can aduge the mention settings there.
