‘Notify everyone’ too low barrier

Recently you guys added checkboxes, for each assignable person on a project, to which people can send notifications of a ticket. While I find it a great feature, the ‘notify everyone’ checkbox has a too low barrier imo for bigger OSS projects (like Rails). People will just hit ‘notify everyone’ because their problems are always “critical” instead of thinking it over and only notifying the people that should be notified.

So it would be great if the ‘notify everyone’ feature could be, at least, a disablable feature.

    Oh weird, I guess some other member of the Rails lighthouse installation must have accidentally done this… It was because of this ticket: http://rails.lighthouseapp.com:80/projects/8994/tickets/1998-23-session-storing-an-activerecord-object-crashes-with-nilinclude-and-undefined-classmodule

    Thanks, for the response.

    You're absolutely correct, it was available to all users when it launched. Sorry about that... I too got added to a bunch of tickets and had a lot of people less than amused about the situation.
