Is there any permission setting somewhere, where I can disallow unwatching certain categories? We want a special category, in which first posts should be “must-reads” for certain groups. I know, I can put groups back in there before posting, but I’d like to disallow them to opt-out.

Ups, thanks for pointing this out. So, actually, there’s no way at all of sending a E-Mail to all users? They always have the upper hand in terms of getting Mails from discourse? That’s sad.
