Can one turn off the duplicate membership warning when you click add membership?

I've recently upgraded from 3.4.7 to 4.3.5.

In our setup people can have more than one membership active.  My users are complaining about  the warning that comes up every time they go in and add another membership to someone who has one.

I get the fact that in some setups people don't allow multiple memberships but not every setup is like that.

You might be able to do this via a hook and suppress the form rule and/or modify the preProcess function. In general the goal is to do what 80% of orgs use rather than satisfy everyone (or no-one)

Yea.  I understand the 80%.  No matter what you do someone will be unhappy.  For the most part, I don't find too many things in civi that don't make sense for us.

I think in hindsight, since the warning wasn't there, when it was added maybe there should have been a admin parameter defaulted to true to give the warning.  Then those who don't want it could turn it off.

I know, I know, why don't I code it and submit it, but then maybe we're the only ones who want this and it is minor.  Plus at the moment I don't have the time.  Maybe in the future.

Thank you for the response.

please make sure you do share the code as an extension when you get to doing so in the future
