Logging out should not be coupled with a link

Currently, if any user navigates to the
https://www.audiotool.com/user/logout they will be logged
out, which is actually fairly dangerous from a development standpoint. A
better option may be simply appending a method (cular.prototype ?) to the
logout button, so that functionality is abstracted from the user.

Why is it dangerous?

Ok. I got confused by you referencing it to a 'development standpoint', which has nothing to do with your finding. It is more to prevent trolling. Good point!

The development standpoint becomes relevant to the related bug report: https://www.audiotool.com/board/bug_reports/href_user_logout
I meant that the logout screen should be a subsequent landing page not a dependency for logout in that respect.

Also, I realize that this format for site feedback may be a little confusing (even on my part). I'll address this moving forward

You are right on this, this needs to be fixed.
