The president of the company my wife used to work at once referred to reply-all as “gangbanging the company.”

We had one particular reply all that hosed a lot of people and got two employees fired so

Gangbanging can be apt.

An IT Helpdesk Mailbox once sent out the equivalent of a "let us know if you see this" email to two people while CCing the "EVERYBODY" mailing list, a list that didn't have all the names.

Unfortunately, that mailing list didn't have permissions set up to block randos from using it. The Reply Allmageddon was about four hours of YEP I CAN SEE IT - Rando McMullin, Ph.D., followed by STOP REPLYING TO ALL YOU IDIOTS (while replying to all), followed by ASCII art until someone finally locked down the permissions on that one mailing list.

NPS had a reply-all debacle with a Junior Ranger program last year, that still managed to rise above all of the then-new COVID info and policy updates. I believe it was for a park out west, and they accidentally hit the “EMAIL EVERYBODY IN THE ORGANIZATION” button that somehow finds a way to exist. think someone in the Washington office got involved at some point to try and shut it down? I don’t remember exactly, but I remember my email being stuffed full of people yelling about it (even as one acknowledged the irony of using “reply all” to yell at everyone else).

The best part of reply all avalanches is when someone senior sends out the "don't reply all" warning and then a half dozen brown nosers reply all with "thank you for reminding everyone sir".

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I am not on this distro. Please remove me from mailing list.

::replies all::

and an uptight major responded with a long annoying "you should pay attention to how to remove yourself from the list and here is how to do it you unprofessional peons" paragraph.
Then another major who had just left the command did a reply all to that consisting entirely of "ok"

Reply-all storms killed Microsoft's email servers in 1997 because someone decided to put giant mailing lists in with a quarter of the company on each of them and people were reply-alling to them asking to be removed. The Exchange team estimated it was about 200 GB of messages over the course of a couple hours, at a time when sub-GB hard drives in new desktops were still common.

Even without the CYA angle this is helpful so that everyone has a record in a week or a month of what the hell we just agreed to do. Plus you CC any interested parties so everyone is on the same page.

A lot of the time if someone asks me to do something that I can't immediately take care of, I'll say "sure, but also please email me about it as a reminder".
