Hey Folks,

I’ve only just become aware of the Who’s Online plug-in, and while I rather like it I think requiring users to completely hide their presence (_Hide my public profile and presence features_) in order to opt-out is too much.

In my opinion it should be possible to simply opt-out of _Who’s Online_.

That is the most reasonable and responsible user-care option I’ve seen employed on other forums over the years.

-Chris
