A Hiatus is a way to secure a member's account during an extended absence. People used to ask for voluntary bans when work/school/life became too much, so we created this option that doesn't make you look like you got booted.

Minimum duration is 3 months, and the account is locked down during this time. After that, you can come back whenever you want; there is a hidden forum where you can post when you want Staff to reactivate you.
