Self-ban-request (temp)

Hello,
I'm currently busy with RL stuff, that needs to be fixed in time and lichess provides a big distraction to me. Thus I'd like to be temp-banned for a month to compensate for my lacking of discipline.
Best Regards

It was just a request, it's up to lichess to furfill it or not. Afaik other websites offer similar services. It would probably take a mod a very short time to do it and it would benefit me greatly.
However, snarky comments with no additional information (I was well aware, that my mum isn't a lichess mod) benefit noone.
I kinda agree with Clarkey; this is not going to fix your issues of self-control or boredom.

But eh, I don't mind. However, I don't want to make this a regular thing, so to be clear to everyone, I'm making an exception for you.

From AdVSc2, pm me something like a secret word, to this account (Hellball).

I will then close your account.

When you want it reopened, send an email to lichess.contact@gmail.com with your secret word, and I will reopen it.
What about an button to 'inactivate' (if that's the right term) your account?

P.S.: Of course, closing your account definitely would still be an option.
In the spirit of lifting this post out of the depths of internet troll hell...

@ #1

haha yeah would be nice. Now if i could just get Steam to ban me from all my purchased games :-)
@Hellball: Thanks for the answer, I'll send a PM

@rest: I still don't know, what exactly your problem is. As I said, this was just a request I sent, knowing, that it is fairly usual on other sites. By your reactions I gathered, that it is not usual here, but why exactly are you upset, when it doesn't interfere with your usage of the site in any way?
I was under the assumption, that it would take a mod about 2 clicks to ban someone, so I assumed to not waste anyones time here, but a few of you seem to find it offensive, that I asked a simple question.
Yeah, I don't think it should be a regular thing but I wouldn't mind doing it.

I've done it for someone who wanted to focus on RL stuff before.
