It happens from time to time that I’m away for an extended period.

It would be nice to have the option to set up an automatic reply, or a status that alerts anyone trying to message me that I’m unavailable, and perhaps direct them to another team member. Or, otherwise to suspend the possibility to send a private message.

I imagine this would be most useful for community managers, but perhaps also moderators or other very active users.

(In the past, I’ve used the custom title to give my status as “unavailable” or “away” but I’m not sure if that is visible in the right places, as I still received messages.)
