spark please consiter invisable change

[110 Dave]

Howdy Spark!
as it was changed to that only paying members had the privlage of surch and only paying members can post for sale ..

i would like to ask you to consiter makeing one more ability a privlage of paying members only and that is
invisability to others while being present in a forum or thread.

currently a non pay member can click under user cp to be able to be read and post with out being seen to be watching the froum or thread...
a lot of lurkers and many troll's make use of this ..
i feel this should be a privlage reserved for paying members at a min or even gold member ship at a min.
reasoning is that as paying members we as a class are much less likely to troll and create any issues...

this come to my attention as i was reading in a thread and had checked the persons present and on a quick refrish seen a post by some one that was "not there" show up. i have seen this happen two times..
a nother gold member friend and i tested this and it does work this way..
this is a powerfull tool and one i feel is worthy enugh to justify paid member ship to have.

i always when in any forum here or any thread look to see who of my friends or who else is reading there and in many cases if i see them in the froum i will look to see what thread they are reading ...
and it seems that any who care enught to pay should be able to see any presents of thoes that dont pay watching...

as always thank you for provideing a place to discuss knives and takeing the time to read our request.

As far as I know invisibility is only available to paying members, though it's possible that configuration got accidentally changed.
