Players are volunteering to solve the Group Finder blocking issue... Is there anything ZOS can do?

While playing today I noticed that some players are adding dates to their recruitment titles to help viewers determine if those recruitments are currently active. That's great, but the blocking issue should not be solved by players

The blocking issue seems to have been around since the day Group Finder was released. Some actions can cause recruitments to form a ghost group in the GF that is permanent and cannot be joined until the GF is cleared during regular maintenance (which I assume is done manually).

Can ZOS techs improve this long-standing problem? @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno

There are also ghost groups on PC EU. Can't join them or anything, and they last forever.

this issue has been particularly terrible recently, almost the entire front page of the group finder was occupied by dead groups

I recently made a thread about dead groups in the group finder... nobody seems to figure out how to fix the problem
