Wait, so let me get this straight. Someone can add me to a group without my permission, and I suddenly start getting notifications about all the crap that goes on in that group? That sounds obnoxious even by facebook standards.

Think it needs to be a friend that adds you, and you can remove yourself and they can't re-add you.

The same friend could message you to death if they wanted to.

True, but they'd probably realise they were being annoying. I'm concerned that some of my less ... sophisticated friends might start adding me to every group they think is funny.
