Removing your profile from show in search didn't actually remove your profile, it removed the details but your name was still there with a message saying this user has chosen to hide their profile. I don't consider that an opt out as it's spam I fear I'll get hit with and my name and UUID are all a spammer will need and both were available previously.

Thank you for making the point more succinctly than me regarding classifieds, your point about google mashing everything together is a great point. I agree that that's not a universal truth.

Thanks for the link, I look forward to seeing how that develops :)
