      @widget I have a similar issue on the other site, though it's not as prevalent as on here.

      @widget It might be better to make it automatic, actually. If only there was a way to inform people to join groups before posting to them...

      @widget That may cause some people to join groups they don't really want to join.

      @widget Is there any possible way to check if they're posting from the group page? It might be irritating for anyone who pastes some CSS into the notice box to join !important automatically.

        @redenchilada Irritating for them, rather. Me? I'd find it hilarious

      @widget But it's demonstrative of the kind of stuff that can accidentally happen there. Maybe autofill the group page with "join group" instead of "!group" if the user hasn't joined it? Or maybe something like "join!group" and have a plugin to automatically join the group if it finds that, while still letting the notice through. Or something.

        @redenchilada @widget Or if you wanna get incredibly hacky, have the autofill include a non-printing Unicode character somewhere by the group name and use that! /slapped
