I agree on the concept but Nathanael's latter suggestion seems better.Nathanael wrote:
Not a bad idea. Some people do forget that they used the /away command.
Or at least autocancel /away when they type as a sign of being back active.
I wouldnt really like because many times when I set my away status I get a messaged pretty quickly after it and I just reply to the user before leaving it would kinda get tedious to constantly have to set the away message again and again.Nathanael wrote:

I agree! but Nathanael's suggestion is also okay.Cawub wrote:

I support this too but because of what Cawub said, I would recommend a timer (or sleep, if you want) for it to be triggered.Nathanael wrote:

I'm seconding Cawub and Bakari. Lyawi's suggestion seems more useful for this case!
Well, maybe not always for mods, but in general I use the /away as an auto-message to anyone PM-ing me.Bakari wrote:
I use /away as auto-responder to people requesting mods. Auto canceller would be pretty uncomfortable for me.

That's why I would like to see it with the notification.Ludd wrote:
Like this idea, and I don't think it would be very hard to implement lol. But yeah, I think that your away status should be removed when you begin typing again into osu or play a song, it would just make sense but people would probably get mad over it and have to /away again.
Thanks!I often forget that I have myself set as away so when I come back people start messaging me they think that I am gone. It isn't harmful in anyway, sure some people might find it annoying if they use it for automessaging but that's their own problem for using the /away function as a way to set auto messages.Nathanael wrote:
The /away command is meant to be used to notify people that a user is away.
Setting your status as afk or while doing something ingame doesn't make sense either.
i actually use it sometimes if i just don't want to talk to peopleNathanael wrote:

Well then. Going back to the original request, which is the reminder or notification.deadbeat wrote:

/away not in a good mood. don't talk to me
something like that. it does have it's uses outside of I'M NOT ACTUALLY HERE
Also implementing a reminder like that while a user just using it for automessaging (active status) can be also annoying.
That's.. a good point, yep. But because the notification would appear after a few seconds/minutes (I really prefer minutes then), it wouldn't appear constantly. Or it just appears only 1-3 times or something like that. Hope someone else knows a better idea so that this isn't annoying so much. >_>Nathanael wrote:
