"Parking" accounts

[byrnesc1]

I'm home for the winter break and I'm going to be doing some work on my computer as well as just working a lot of hours so I won't be making many if any downloads or uploads. My question is how inactive I need to be and for how long if I want to park my account. Of course, I don't really want to, I just would rather do that than have my account disabled and have those who have invite me punished. What's your insights/rule of thumb?

see FAQ for duration. each tracker are different. and if you disabled for inactivity, no one got punished

You can park your account whenever you want. That usually extends the normal inactivity period of 30/42 days to around 3 months.

No site will punish your inviter if you're disable due to inactivity, by the way.

Put a note in your profile saying that you will be away until xxxxxxx. If you go to each site's irc support channel when you return, most will have no problem re-enabling you.
