Plesk’s decision to enable collectible pixel-art stickers by default as part of its anniversary 18.0.80 release was poorly conceived and completely unnecessary.
As a Plesk Partner, we provide Plesk to business customers who expect a professional control panel. We do not want promotional stickers or novelty graphics appearing in their interface, and we should not be required to manually edit panel.ini across every automatically updated Plesk server simply to remove them.
This should have been an optional feature that administrators could choose to enable—not something imposed by default and left to partners to disable after the fact. Rolling out a cosmetic gimmick across business systems without administrator consent shows remarkably poor judgment.
Please remove the stickers from the default configuration and disable them by default going forward. Administrators who actually want them can opt in.
Frankly, what were you thinking?
