Suggestion for Subeta: Hiatus mode
Posted: 15 Sep 2010 06:33 pm
I'm not posting on the forums there because I'm keeping to my word to not return until I can be civil. So I'll post my suggestion here:
I think we should be able to put our accounts on a hiatus status. I suggest this because I really don't like the idea of disabling an account. I think it would just be less stressful for staff to have to go through everything to make sure that you are the owner of the disabled account and such. I think people, like me, would be less paranoid about their account being accidentally cleared if inactive for months or disabled. There is always that error that could occur.
I'm not sure if it would be better to just send in a ticket to staff to put your account in the mode, or if the user themselves could just set a date to which they want the hiatus mode to end. Or, if you are able to return earlier than the set date, you could still get in touch with the staff via a ticket and they can take your account off Hiatus mode.
What do you guys think? Too paranoid and unnecessary? Helpful and comforting for people who leave temporarily?
Discuss please. ^^
