Chessmaster1000: You know something about the whole Cloak Mode business and feature requests? I don't ever remember anyone requesting it! Perhaps we should direct our questions toward Fencer and see what he has to say about it? Like, why did he come up with it and add it to the site? Unless it was easy to program, I would hope he would have been working on other things here. If a lot of people were clammoring for such a feature, it'd make a lot more sense to me. With him just adding it without even saying he was comtemplating it, and then being surprised by the response it doesn't sit too well with me.

Though I agree with the grenv, danoschek, and ChessMaster1000 that it is a feature that could just be dropped from the site and we'd all be well enough without it ever having existed, I must say, what does it matter to you guys if someone is cloaked? They either move in their games, or they don't. I do not like the cloak feature because, as pgt has pointed out, it interfers with me knowing if my opponent is checking out our game or not and if I want to stay online or call it a night. This is why I requested some changes to the Cloak Mode feature if it is going to stay on the site. If there's a vote on it, I vote to get rid of it. If it's going to stay, let's get some options added to it. It bothers a lot people as it is now, and it does not help me play my games in any way.
