But it would be incredibly simple for the script to have been written to allow for it.

if (typeof snowStorm.disabled == "undefined") snowStorm.disabled = false; Or something along those lines, maybe even: if (window.noSnowStormForMeThanks) snowStorm.disabled = true;

All scripts I've written/adapted have the ability for users to opt out of them. My chat scripts are all off by default. When I added a novelty cursor to the wiki, I made a news post instructing people on how to restore the default cursor via their user CSS.

An important part of being an admin/script-author/feature-developer-for-Wikia is to realise that not all people will want to use it, and that in most cases it's easy to add a way for them to opt out.
