He didn't mean that his forum is about politics, he meant it would interfere with personal politics. I'd actually realised the same thing last night - this kind of info could cause a lot of issues for users. With this in mind, for extra security - it would be nice for a user to turn off admiration - so they can NOT be admired, via UCP. Obviously if they do not receive, they also can not give.
Buro9; I do not see any redirects at all. And what I was asking for is maybe a page where it would state "Your admiration for X has been registered - you need take no further action. Click here to go back to the X's profile.". On a similar note, for the report; "Your secret admirer report has been sent to the e-mail address in your profile - click here to go back to your Control Panel.".
Another suggestion is maybe moving admiration notifications over to an hourly CRON job. I just realised that if the user admiring, and the user being admired are using the forums at the same time - that the e-mail would alert the admired, if they quickly checked Active Users the admirer would probably still be [or be listed as being] viewing the admired's profile - giving the game away. Not sure if that makes any sense haha...
