Introducing User Status, For Your Time Away And Holidays

Sep 21, 2024

One of the top-requested features on EasyBloggers in recent months was the ability for bloggers to request vacations or holidays. They needed to inform their sponsors about incoming time off and the impossibility of completing their deadlines.

While bloggers are used to asking for time off, it didn't feel right to ask for permission to be away from Second Life and EasyBloggers because, whatever your reason, your Second Life shouldn't be more important than your real life.

Change your status

Everyone on EasyBloggers can change their status. To do so, click on your picture at the top right and click "Update your status."

In this menu, you can describe the reason you need to go away and the number of days.

When you've filled in the fields and clicked "Update your status", any in-progress deadline will be updated to be extended by the number of days you need to be away across all your sponsors, you don't need to ask for any permission.

Stores and events

On the member's page, you will see the active status of a blogger at the bottom of their card, and if you hover over the status with your mouse, you can see the reason. Do you think a blogger is abusing the system? Click on their profile and review the "Previous status" on their profile at the bottom.

Privacy

By default, only the date of your return will be shown to everyone. If you are part of a store or an event, your managers can see the reason for your time off and your previous time off on your profile to prevent abuse.
