Just a thought, but think this kind of thing should be implemented here. If say you get into an argument, discussion or infraction. What happens when the staff member disappears for a length of time and you would like to contact them to discuss matters further. How long do you wait around? The staff member could be away for 3 week. Do you wait for 3 week till they are back or contact another staff member/admin. If staff had a status then we'd know if we were simply waiting for a few days. I know sometimes things happen unexpectedly so it won't always be accurate but it would be good practice don't ya think?

Hum, i do not think this is related to vB.org itself,because there are staff like 22 hour a day here, rarely you will see no moderator or admin here...

ah but what i'm saying is if your in contact with a certain member, then they go away and you have no knowledge of when they will return. Do you wait around to resolve such problem when they return which could be how long?
Or do you drag another mod into it. If you knew they were away for only a day or so then you would wait wouldn't you. But if they were away for 3 week you would get in contact with another member of staff.

Any disputes with staff should always be taken to the Administrators.

Most of our procedures allow for any staff member to react to an issue. Reported posts are posted as threads in a forum, and moderator (or even multiple moderators) can handle the issue. Same goes for a modification that needs to be quarantined, discussion is posted in a private forum where the modification author can discuss the issue with all moderators.
