There's no reason to make spam easier to execute. And while sending a post to all groups you're a member of is technically allowable, even that is usually not advisable (and will often get a person booted) - rarely is a post equally applicable to every group (like, Similar Module Review, Accessibility, Women in Drupal, Google Summer of Code 2013, etc?).

Thanks

you are right!
but the project I am working has groups and content which admin will be policing and the app is mostly gonna use for our internal purpose so we do not have issues with spam.
I managed to it with some custom coding basically i alter the form add a one more option to group audience field and then on form validation I am checking if user has input that field then I am making a db query to grab all og groups on site and then assign the group ids to the group audience field,looks kinda hackish but did get any better solutions

I'm not quite sure what you want, but this module allowed me to create a view that included nodes for Organic Groups that a user is not a member of: http://drupal.org/project/views_ignore_node_permissions
