Suggestion- Idle Status

Sort:
Avatar of chessplayground

So I just had an idea where you could add an "idle" status, I thought of this when someone asked me to play a game, but I checked my chat 1 day after and saw the message, so maybe you would add an idle system where if you are on the chess.com page idle for more than like 1hr or something, it would change your status to idle. This could tell people that you won't respond to messages instantly as you are not even online. I keep my chess.com tab open a lot, and sometimes people take that as if I am online and doing stuff, while I am doing some other work and just have the tab open in the background. So +1 if you like a idle status system or -1 if you don't like the idea

same I also have this problem sometimes +111. It would help a lot for people to know whether you are offline or just no playing. maybe though for less time like 30 mins and shouldn't be very hard to implement

yeah true, cuz yeah sometimes it gets annoying when people shout at your for being online when you really are not lol

also, it would be better if you made it if you aren't going to be online you can change your status to idle by like clicking somewhere in you profile

Avatar of chessplayground

yeah, this reminds me, discord has a thing just like this, where YOU can choose your status

Avatar of chessplayground

yeah something like this wouldnt be too hard to implement and would be a good addition

Just don't do anything and be in live for some amount of time (I don't know the amount, probably 15-30mins), whenever a friend view you here, it's states that you are idle instead of the playing, analysing, online stats.

I would like this feature. At one time, I had more than 94 posts listed by the Chess.com pawn!
