Hello,I hope you’re doing well! I would like to know if there is a component or setting available that allows users to hide themselves from appearing on the /u page (user directory). I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance on how to achieve this.

I have resolved the issue by disabling the user directory feature and using the leaderboard as a replacement. The leaderboard allows me to hide groups.

That doesn’t hide people from this page – I checked before posting. <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/6/d/66dbd75dbae590442eb7687a8a48b97844cd2f8b.jpeg" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/eFVI0fCVEoo8j0RScNtQeMtqcob.jpeg?dl=1" title="The image shows a data table displaying user metrics for a week, including replies, received hearts, given hearts, topics, views, reads, and visits, across various user names.

Not sure then. Think this might be part of Don:s feature request)bug topic. [imagem] Hide presence: there are still a few places where it doesn't work Feature Hello wave I’ve found some places where I think it should hide online presence too. Chat presence…

That topic is about hiding that you are currently online. I think the relevant topic in this case is this feature request: [imagem] Hiding your user profile doesn't hide your stats in the user directory Feature This topic has been closed a bit too early imho, …

[imagem] Hidden user profiles are not completely hidden, shows with "this user's public profile is hidden" Feature This is 100% as designed and won’t be changing. The goal is to hide the profile (and hide presence features), not hide the user completely.

Sounds like we need a plugin to fix this. As a user should be able to have their profile hidden from the user directory. I agree it should maybe still show in things like topic stats. However they should have an option to not be directly shown in the user directory.
