Make members of a group watch a category by default

[alehandrof (Alex Armstrong)]

In the official user defaults, I have every user watch all relevant categories by default. If they aren’t in a group which gives them permission to view - they simply don’t get the messages. No problem.

Thank you for clarifying this! I’ve wanted to try it, but mailcatcher doesn’t work on my development server. And thus had no way of testing email notifications, except on production

however, the logic as to which groups to remove them from based on what membership could get really ichy if two groups each grant access to a given category, and a user is removed from just one group.

Ah, true. I hadn’t thought of this case. It could get really hairy. Like Sasquatch hairy.

I should note that I haven’t tried my plugin in production, as I wanted to figure out the the permission stuff first. I’ll try it over the weekend. People are less likely to be looking at the forum then – in case it explodes.
