OK, I figured most of this out. (Isn’t realtime reporting fun? 😉 )

[Apparently](https://meta.discourse.org/t/group-mentions-and-messages/36228/16), there’s a setting called `max users notified per group mention`, which (you guessed it) limits the max number of users that can be notified by a mention.

Setting it to a high value like `9999` (we only have 400 users) looks like it works as expected.

The admin screen clearly describe what this setting does:

> Maximum number of users that may receive a notification if a group is mentioned (if threshold is met no notifications will be raised)

However, this isn’t mentioned when you get the just-in-time warning:

![Latest Discussions topics - AMICAL Connect 2017-10-12 18-43-42](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/optimized/3X/3/c/3c0c758ff51938bdbbd2d2b3470b919e5ce69175_2_690x33.png)

[@team](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/team), **I propose that this is a UX bug.** If the number you’re mentioning is higher than the `max users notified per group mention` setting, then Discourse should extend the above warning with some copy like this:

> By mentioning @group\_name, you would normally notify X people. But because this exceeds the maximum number of users that may receive a notification, no notifications will be raised.

I’m not sure how exactly multiple group mentions are handled, so I can’t offer suggestions in that case.

In related news, messaging [@trust\_level\_0](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/trust_level_0) also doesn’t seem to work – it only sends 10 messages and then ceases. Is there a similar setting that prevents messaging users? I wasn’t able to find it.
