That reads as NOT (!) group (%) name.
And here's where my old age kicks in, MrP, Stickly, Krooks, if group_above1 inherits group_above2, will specifying like !%group_above2 not allow group_above1 to be targetted?
Bender, you can test that if they don't answer by time you see mine.
It's possible groups inheriting the group you specify
may also not allow targeting.
If it doesn't work, you'd need to specify any group you consider above the group you don't want them targetting.
