mattermost-timeout-users-plugin

This is a plugin for Mattermost that prevents users from using channel wide mentions in Mattermost servers. This way a server admin can configure the acceptable threshold of @channel, @all or @here and the timeout of the users. This is a way of putting users in their place and making them think before posting a message that mentions the whole server, as time is money.
