During the summer I work at a sleepover camp from Sunday afternoon to Friday evening. Thus, I'm not going to have any time to be online. I'll be gone completely for 3 and a half months give or take. I don't want people asking me questions and expecting answers. I don't want to get suspended, lose moderator status, or, put simply, have anything negative happen.
Is there a way I can go "on leave", set my account to inactive, or something of that nature? If so, how do I do it? If there isn't anything like that, what are the consequences (good, bad, and indifferent) to being gone for that amount of time?
I'll deal with any consequences of course, I'd just like to be prepared for what I see when I sign back on in September. Even if nothing will happen to my account during my absense I'd still like to do this as a sort of courtesy to other users.
I'm sure somebody on here has been gone for long periods of time. What happens? Any suggestions? Detailed, easy to understand answers will be appreciated. I have a tendency get confused easily.

If you aren't answering questions your rating shouldn't change a whole lot. I doubt that it will fall low enough to affect your mod status.
If it should then just contact DN about it when you return.
When I go on vacation I put a note on my column
saying I am gone. I will suggest they ask anything they wanted to ask me to anyone I have listed on my favorites list. My list is people whose advice I like and not just a "friends" list so I feel anyone there would be good help.
All that said, changes are happening everyday around here. Something is bound to change while you are gone. Lets hope they are good ones! Just
fire off a note to someone or go in the mod forum and ask what has changed during your absence.
