Right now when a user dismisses MoodBar, it is disabled by setting a cookie (with a default expiration time of 365 days). This means it will come back e.g. when using a different browser. Now that we have a preferences API, we should disable MoodBar by setting a user preference. (MoodBar is only available to logged in users.)
I'm marking this as easy. I assume if MoodBar is only available to logged in users, the cookie code can be replaced by the user preference code, right? I don't think there's any need to have both. I'm not sure who is working on MoodBar actively. I got a question on my talk page about this bug and I said I'd poke at it a bit. Is there a particular (staff) person whose queue I could throw this in?
I will take care of this
It's been a month. I'm un-assigning this to avoid cookie-licking.
