Exactly! Thank you. I also see a huge flaw in the design of this "rule" option, as I've said no member should be able to set up a rule to auto-delete Admin's PMs. That's why the ignore list let's Admin's PMs through even though they are chosen to be ignored. Admins can't be ignored!
TE:
the rules are completely independent from the group status.. take a look at the popular email clients (thunderbird, outlook, popular webmail clients...). you can add a simple rule which deletes all mails from "postmaster".
Even if you would force me to GET these PMs, you can't force me to READ & UNDERSTAND these PMs..
Even if I can't delete these PMs via a rule directly I could still mark them with a label "don't read" or something similar and simply ignore them.
IMHO this is intended and is fine as it is.

Here we go again...SMF doesn't have to behave like email clients. I just don't understand why these comparison to other software are being made. Why does SMF have to act like vbulletin or anything else? It needs to act the best way for the administrators of SMF forums.

And that's my point - no Administrator PM should be stopped from getting to the inbox. After that we don't have control, but that's no excuse from allowing them to be stopped. You take it as far as it can go under some administrative control.
Please tell me - why would it be logical to be able to stop warning messages from appearing in a member's inbox? Just approach it logically.

I have a completely different opinion, and so do my moderators.

I don't seem to replicate this - actually if the groups are marked as 'invisible' (or even 'visible - except in group key'), they are not shown in the list of the user to choose. Privately assigning groups does not imply the groups should be invisible, setting them as invisible does make them unavailable however.
Illori:
I had not seen the option to make a group visible/invisible that fixed the issue.
