Random 4am musing:

Allow for users to temp-ban themselves? (Please, I need to get this paper done! (>_<) )

This could be looked at in a few ways:

1. allows users to step back and not post. Might give super active posters to stand back and watch discourse without their interference.

2. way to allow users to give themselves a block from the site for a short amount of time. Allows for them to accomplish "x" pressing task.

3. gives users a chance to distance themselves from the community for one reason or another. (Perhaps they need to kick a bad web browsing habit, or want to see how hubski might change over a period of time.

Might be interesting, might not. Probably better that I end this idea here and get back to my paper.
