I think that we can deal with this for the most part by [setting defaults for everyone.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/confirming-its-ok-to-set-default-watch-for-categories-a-user-cant-see/32420/2)

However, I’d still enjoy a setting on a Group that would apply Watch status to members as they were added. This would help in case someone had removed it from their profile before, and now that they’ve been added to the group, it’s best if they Watch the related category again.
