Continuing the discussion from [Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/chat/channel/129/chat?messageId=2928) Originally sent in [The Chat Feedback topic](https://meta.discourse.org/chat/c/-/129) ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/nat/48/235063_2.png) nat random aside, I’d be extremely frugal with the @ all tag. A lot of us look at chat so there’s usually no need to mention everyone. ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/jammydodger/48/254611_2.png) JammyDodger Is the `@all` mention perhaps a little too indiscriminate to be a useful tool? (ie Can I turn it off somehow? 🙂) We have the @here one as well, which may be a little less noisy ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/nat/48/235063_2.png) nat well according to the [tests](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/blob/51eca7af7ea799727b865c373f4dd51c96d4f40f/spec/lib/chat_notifier_spec.rb) it seems `all` is similar to `channel` in that they are channel-wide mentions. `here` is like a subset of `all`, but only includes folks seen within 5 minutes ago. and `everyone` is the `everyone` group, similar to `team`, `staff`, etc ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/seong/48/259022_2.png) seong only let higher level users use it at least by default How\_To\_Roblox I think we should have a setting to disable notification from @ all mentions and have a setting for staff to disable @ all mentions **In brief:** - Consider adding a site setting for disabling/TL-gating the @all mention ---

My ever-inventive users (whom I enabled chat for) today found that they could use @here or @all even if it was prohibited elsewhere. (They always find the darnedest things…) If there could be a switch to disable that, that would be ideal, as would a switch for disabling Chat DMs / PMs (I had to manually add CSS rules to hide the buttons, which obviously won’t hold forever.) Edit: Thank you for placing on correct topic, I somehow didn’t see this one, sorry. ---

That’s okay. 🙂 There’s another one for the disabling of Personal Chat somewhere as well I’m trying to dig out. Bear with me… 🙂 Here it is [Add Option to Disable User-User Chat](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-option-to-disable-user-user-chat/228046) 👍 ---

In the meantime I’m going to try to use Watched Words to block and censor the use of them. Which is another imperfect temporary solution because those can be bypassed (like the CSS hiding PMs) but as long as they don’t figure it out until a switch is added… ---

We now have a per-channel setting to disable `@all` and `@here` via his PR from @j.jaffeux [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/19317](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/19317)
