It would be nice to have an extra check box in the group options to set a group as a users’ primary group if and only if they do not already have one.

Currently, users are primarily grouped in whatever group they join last with the automatic setting applied. While this is great for groups like staff or site leaders, there are are lesser groups that it would be handy to set as a user’s primary group if and only if they don’t already have one set. This would also make it much easier to distribute flair without potential unintended consequences.
