I write my thoughts on most anime/manga i watch/read as notes in my list, but i don't necessarily want them to appear in the "Recent Friend Updates" section on my friends' homepage (even if i don't mind them reading my notes if they happen to visit my list).
As a result, i have to manually disable it every time i add a note on a new entry. I'm pretty sure there are some users with similar situation.

Adding the option to enable or disable the feature for all anime/manga as the default would be appreciated.

But perhaps keep the current checkbox as well, this way 3 different needs will be addressed:
1) users who want the feature to be enabled for all anime/manga by default;
2) users who want the feature to be disabled for all anime/manga by default;
3) users who want the feature to be manually enabled/disabled for individual anime/manga (current checkbox).

Thank you for your consideration.

I agree, this tickbox is better of being disabled by default (or not existing at all)

Unfortunately, there's no option for that in the settings. We always have to manually uncheck the 'Send note to Recent Friend Updates.' on our 'Notes' when entering our initial notes. It's all "good" after unchecking the box the first time but I don't know why that's MAL's default. It should be the other way around.


I was updating my notes and it's tiring to always have to uncheck the boxes for some that I haven't yet.
