However, if the admin is against it for any reason then I would at least ask them to bold the group the thread belongs to make it easier for people to read. When I first logged into DU3, I wasn't paying attention to the group/forum either. It wasn't until I saw some strange threads that I realized I was seeing new threads from groups I'd never noticed before.

I agree that it makes you think twice about posting a thread here. I get enough backlash from my family for my beliefs, I don't need to feel it here too.
