could the everyone tag be disabled by default?

@Josh Mandel Is that possible? In this environment, sending an email to all subscribers is probably not appropriate - or there should at least be a restriction on who can do it.
Josh Mandel (Nov 07 2017 at 14:23):
I think there is a warning (https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/853) -- that seems about right. After all, anyone can email fhir@lists.hl7.org in an unmoderated way.
Josh Mandel (Nov 07 2017 at 14:24):
In any case, I don't see a way to specifically prevent this (you can always submitted a feature request at the url above, but I'm not convinced that blocking would be the right behavior).
Lloyd McKenzie (Nov 07 2017 at 15:49):
I've added something to the community expectations that will hopefully address the issue.
Josh Mandel (Nov 07 2017 at 21:15):
Oh yeah, everyone'll read and remember that ;-)
Josh Mandel (Nov 07 2017 at 21:16):
Also... @all makes fine sense in smaller streams, so the advice is a little conservative.
Lloyd McKenzie (Nov 08 2017 at 13:20):
I didn't realize they were filtered by stream subscribers. Is that true for both all and everyone? I'll adjust the guidance. (I recognize not everyone will read it, but at least then we can point to it.)
