Allow to disable metrics in config.

This is actually something you can do in the PluginMetrics folder. You can "opt-out" there, so if multiple plugins use metrics, there's a single config to edit instead of every plugin. Pretty smart of them!

In the past every plugin had to allow this in their config to meet bukkit requirements. Don't know if it changed but it could prevent moderators to accept files on bukkitdev.

Yeah I know about that, afaik I just need to put in the plugin description that you can disable it in the PluginMetrics config.

Any data collected about your plugin or its environment must be clearly indicated on the main page of your project; both that data is being collected and what specifically is being collected. There must be a configuration option to disable data collection, or a way for the server admin to otherwise disable this process. This applies to stats collection, error log collection, and any other data collection.

I believe they mean "a configuration option" --> an option in your plugin's configuration.

It doesn't say where the config option should be, so it should be fine if I tell them to disable it via PluginMetrics. There must be a reason why they put that option in the config too, right?

In any case, I'll throw one of the mods a PM and see what their answer is.

Yup, best way to have an answer.
