I just wanted to know if this is a thing or if there’s a way to do this? Can there be an off duty button, which mods can click when they go offline for the night? If it’s not possible (other than having to change your bio), can this either be made a plug-in or a new feature built into discourse? Thanks.
AI-generated summary
A discussion about adding an “Off Duty” button for moderators/admins to indicate when they are offline. CaptainZac suggests this feature could be useful, and HAWK mentions that a similar functionality already exists internally, but is unsure of the specific plugin used. tshenry identifies the plugin as the official Calendar plugin, specifically the Holiday Calendar feature, which can be used to manage staff holidays and add a visual indicator to staff names during their holiday period. This feature can be used as a workaround to achieve a similar effect to an “Off Duty” button.

The functionality already exists. We use it internally so that we can see who is on holiday.
Not sure what the plugin is though. Perhaps someone from @tech-advocates can let you know.

That’s coming from our official calendar plugin:
The mods/admins could essentially “clock out” each day in the holiday calendar topic, posting the timeframe they expect to be offline. It’s not exactly an off duty button, but it’s something that’s already built and can achieve a similar effect.
