Facebook groups: people adding you without permission or approval solution ?

how to unjoin or quit facebook groups added me without my knowledge this is the common question buzzing around, recently from past few days i was in several group without even knowing what it does? how annoying isn't it? i can say it is one of the blunder feature in facebook, i don't know how facebook let people to add their friends or acquaintances without their permission into the group ain't facebook allow its users to decide whether to join certain group or not? and whats more i get a notification every time whenever some tomdick messages in the room, i got almost 22 unwanted emails filling in my mailbox.

Though i searched to disable facebook automatic group subscription i found out there isn't anyway to over come this and it seems kinda lame :( so only way to get rid of spammy groups is by manually unjoining it below are the steps on how to do it

You can find all the groups you have been added in left side of your main facebook page as shown in below pic
Now hover the cursor over the group which you want to unjoin you can see a "x" mark showup automatically as shown in pic click on it, this will not unjoin you from the group rather just hide you

if you want to unjoin from the group you should actually visit the group page and click on edit settings as shown in below pic

Now in edit settings you can find how to disable the email notifications for chats and group emails if you really like the group but only annoyed by the emails you can uncheck the options, but this steps still won't let you to unjoin you from the group

Now to "Finally" Leave the group... just go into the home page of the facebook groups and click on the "Leave group" on right corner of the page as show in below pic
Now you are out accept the confirmation


Now you are done you are no longer associated with the group and you wont get any annoying notification or chat messages from the group anymore

I would add to this by unfriending/blocking anybody who adds you to a group without asking first.
