Bella is a Workspace Admin at a company with 3,500 employees. She is receiving complaints from her colleagues that "Slack is too noisy". Her team is bothered by frequent use of @here and @channel in public channels. She has never evaluated or changed the default settings, so she wants to change how those notifications work in her workspace.
How can Bella change her workspace's messaging restrictions to minimize disruption?

I feel like just DMing users about their mentions won't really solve the problem. We need a more structured approach, like restricting usage.

I practiced a similar question where we had to manage notifications in a workspace. I think setting those mentions to private channels could be a good compromise.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think limiting @here and @channel to just Owners and Admins might be too strict.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of some of these options. I may need to do a quick search on Slack admin settings to make sure I fully understand what each one entails before deciding.

Restricting public channel posting to just Owners and Admins (option D) seems a bit heavy-handed. I'd want to try less drastic measures first before going that far.

Okay, the key here is finding a way to limit the disruptive @here and @channel mentions without being too restrictive. I'm leaning towards option B - that seems like a good balance.
