[PLANNED] [Uploads] Add checkbox for "Silent" attribute to new chapter uploads

[Bartolumiu]

Over the last few days, the ‘Recent Updates’ section has been full of mass uploads from certain groups.
Here's what it looks like when that happens...

On behalf of some of these uploaders, I think it would be nice to have a way to stop the posts from appearing in this section (at least temporarily), either by enabling something on the chapter upload page or through the API at the time of uploading the chapter...

Here's an idea on how it could look like (it's just inspect element, okay?):

But then how would people know that the chapters were uploaded? Even if the toggle adds a delay they'll all still show up at once in the list.

On the updates tab. If a title mass uploaded is not part of your feed, you probably don't care that much about it at the moment. If you do, seeing it through so many uploads would be sheer luck. Either way you're not seeing it.

They'd still appear in your "Followed Updates" page. Just not in the main page.

For what it's worth we have a pretty good idea of how to do it nicely, and it boils down to allowing a publishAt value being set at chapter commit time, and set in the past.

It's planned and shouldn't be too too hard on our end either.
