I know there are hacks and so forth you can use to remove Admin showing as being online. But it would be better if there was some default options to completely hide either just Admin or covering all staff. Reason being, when your running a new forum it's not an ideal situation to be showing yourself as being the only person sitting there online for most of the time for anyone to see.
Not only that, when dealing with trolls or members joining intent on causing trouble. The one thing they want to be able to see is if the staff are there online. Being cloaked from these type of members joining gives staff a distinct advantage in dealing with them (they don't know if your there or not) when logging in. This means you can monitor them in secret hidden away from view.
Just an idea to think about, not sure what others view on this one is?
