Able to (force) hide name tags

Every user in VRC has a name tag. Of course, this makes sense.
However, being able to "force hide" your nametag so that it doesn't show up AT ALL (and not just by pressing the key to hide nametags on your client) would open several interesting possibilities:
A player could go into a world, say with a scary avatar, but no other user can recognize the user as a player/user. (Because no nametag :) ) He could as well be part of the world, an asset or NPC.
Imagine role-playing in some of the scary worlds in VRC, like haunted prison or wherever.
I thought the BIIIIG and BRIGHT nametag over a player not optimal since it automatically gives away "you are just another user" and no "scary ghost". Think about. It would be super simple and could add to immersion and some fun in worlds.
Again, this is not about that someone on their client can hide nametags. We can do this already. This is to give people a way to not reveal the fact that they're players to others.
It would be something optional and your opinion about this may differ, but any more option and choices to have are good!

This should be an option allowed on a per-world basis to enable role playing specific worlds, but not as a general ability to be used anywhere.

EvolvedAnt: Oh absolutely!

I'd say don't disable them but make them invisible.
They should only pop up when I look directly at a person.

This should be added to the SDK so that only certain worlds will have the option instead of having it everywhere.

I like this idea for personal reasons but want the ability to somehow see all avatar names or user count for the room for troll tracking

I'm not sure I like the idea of this being available, but I can see why one would request it.

I like some aspects of this idea, but it allows complete freedom for those who would want to just be invisible and spy on people. Even in public rooms, I want to know who's around me and who can hear the conversations I'm participating in.
