To design this in a non oh-my-god-this-is-crazy way we would need admins to be able to set a flag on groups with “mutable”, this may be useful if you have a group of “bots” or other kind of “loud but less useful” users.

It is a bit of specific feature creep, not that I am against it, just that its very edge casey.
