It only works if you are dealing with a single group and force title, which I kind of am, but for some reason some users did not get the title (and there is no “reset” action) We already have this problem on meta … some with our customers that have the `customer` title, but we would like to see the actual customer group name on the card. > [@codinghorror](#): > > Why do you need to _force_ people to watch a category? I’m very unclear about this. Forcing people to do things does not generally work well in my experience. This is very common for small groups management and people moving from a mailing list world, we already have the site setting for: `default categories watching` which can not be used for this cause they are secure categories. We also have `Default notification level for group messages` which is not usable on categories. We already have 2 ways to force people into watching we ship, and both do not fit this need. I guess an alternative here is **Welcome to the amazing group** automatic PM or notification we could send to every member that becomes a member of the group (optional), which teaches them about the group and how to click the “circle” so they can watch the group categories if they want to. I am not against this, I think it could help. The problem is teaching this at scale. The default of watching is a better default for certain configurations of people. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/group-administration-functions-should-be-better-surfaced/112303)._
