/away

Mark yourself as temporarily unavailable, with an optional message explaining why. Other users will see your away status when they look you up.

Syntax

/away [message]

Parameters

message — Optional reason for being away. If omitted, clears your away status.

How It Works

When you set an away message, your status changes to "away" in the user list. Anyone who uses /whois on you will see your away message. To come back, simply run /away with no message. Your away status is session-scoped — it resets when you disconnect.

Examples

/away Gone for lunch, back in 30 min
/away Meeting until 3pm
/away
