Our `sonarsourcers` group, which I just added to this category a minute ago, is a superset of `staff`. Makes sense to me to not list both. But I can’t find a way to drop `staff`. IMO, I should be able to do that…

I dont think staff should be required since some forums may have an category for admins and not mods or once of staff of the company and don’t want mods seeing it.

You should be able to remove the staff group? Does the dustbin icon not work?

I thought I had completely missed something there. 🙂 I’m glad it works. 👍 🙂
