Description

Even though we had a few funny times when someone shoot an @all notification in the middle at the night on the Demo Server, what do you folks think about the idea of adding a settings-based confirmation before using it?

Maybe it could be related to rules such as the number of users in the channel and/or number of different timezones etc.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue discussion and attached screenshot to understand the proposed confirmation behavior for @all notifications. No source file, test, settings entry point, or acceptance criteria is named, so the relevant message composer and settings code must first be located. Done would require an agreed design and implementation criteria from the unresolved discussion.
