I've never wanted to do it, but if as you say there is no official way to disable the generation of RSS, you could always try overriding the selection of what to put in it.
With VIEWs I believe that you can override the selection of what to include. Just change the selection process to return a null set, like a creation date in the future. It will still generate the RSS feed but there shouldn't be anything in it.
Or maybe with Contemplate you could just return some static tet and not include any node variables.
the snippet thing doesn't work in 6.x but gave me the idea to create a clear png to replace the feed.png image in the misc folder. works for now anyhow!
seems to me you can just remove the logo from the .css file its being called in.

however those RSS feeds would still be there and browsers that notices that a link to the feed in the page. They'd be able to see the rss from the url (if that makes sense).
agreed. Seems odd to me that the ideology is to limit the choice of users on websites.
I prefer to help my users and make their life easier. That said, I've never investigated trying to remove the RSS feed capability from Drupal.
That would certainly take, hacking core. _____________________________________________________________________ My posts & comments are usually dripping with sarcasm.

There is no admin UI selection that will turn off a users ability to read your site through the RSS feed reader off.

if i want to get updates on your site content, i can create my own feed on your static pages for free with tons of resources on the interweb like feedity.com and others - so why make even one user looking for this jump through a hoop?
if you're worried about users getting rss and not comign to your site, simply limit the number of items and restrict to teasers and then change teaser length...there are workarounds.
The reason I'd like to deactivate the RSS feeds is so that i could create my own with views. I'm not happy with the rss feeds drupal creates. When I create some feeds with views I will sometimes run into the drupal feeds overwriting my view feeds. Plus, if I am running both I will sometimes run into duplicates. I'd like to keep all my feeds running through views to keep them uniform as well.
I agree this would be a valid feature request however, the activity in this thread will never result in a change to drupal 7.
If you'd like to see this feature implemented search the d7 issue queue to see if there's an existing issue (then see what state it's in and contribute to it) or create an issue for it and work on it there.

exactly. why disable rss at all?
if i want to get updates on your site content, i can create my own feed on your static pages for free with tons of resources on the interweb like feedity.com and others - so why make even one user looking for this jump through a hoop?
if you're worried about users getting rss and not comign to your site, simply limit the number of items and restrict to teasers and then change teaser length...there are workarounds.
remember, information wants to be free.
I would just
I would just remove/deactivate the code from the template if I wouldn't want any rss on my site.
Remove Drupal's RSS to create my own.
The reason I'd like to deactivate the RSS feeds is so that i could create my own with views. I'm not happy with the rss feeds drupal creates. When I create some feeds with views I will sometimes run into the drupal feeds overwriting my view feeds. Plus, if I am running both I will sometimes run into duplicates. I'd like to keep all my feeds running through views to keep them uniform as well.
+1 agree i hope in 7 they
+1 agree
i hope in 7 they will fix it ... we need no discussions about "yes or no" - it should only be configurable in a professional system ...
greetings momper

They is us-- all of us that use drupal.
