Great work on a super useful feature. We will make good use of this.
What then is the point of the ‘Mute’ option, if it can never be applied? Or can this in fact be applied if they are ‘Normal’, just not if they are ‘Watching’, ‘Tracking’, or ‘WFPing’?
Feature request #1 - have ‘Normal’ as an option
The situation is a mute-all forum, where I want to use a group to change a category or tag status from ‘Muted’ to ‘Normal’ (not to a version of ‘watching’).
Feature request #2 - ability to over-ride watching preferences for a group if desired
I think that this would allow consistent behaviour with the Category and Tag watching for the whole forum in Settings.
