Suspended Accounts

Another suggestion

For example, if I go on a 4-week vacation to Argentina with no access to the Internet, I want to suspend my account so I don't drop two levels while away and have to spend 4+ more weeks to get back up.

Maybe you should introduce this feature where levels stay during the suspension.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Your level will not drop if you have no activity on Brilliant. If you decide to 'manually suspend' your account, then your level will stay the same. However, if you come back and view problems and get some wrong (and few/none correct), then your level will drop as intended.

What's 'manually suspend'?

'Manually suspend' as in you personally do not access the site for that week / entire time period, whether by pure willpower, lack of internet, or acts of God.

@Calvin Lin – Did not know that, thanks

What if you answer only the two easiest questions one week, and leave everything else unanswered for two consecutive weeks?

In true suspend mode, you shouldn't be able to view any of the problems at all. Viewing and answering indicates that you're out of suspend mode.

I've made it such that if you merely view the problems (but do not answer ANY of them), your level will not change. If you decide to be itchy fingered and key in random / wrong answers, then it's not fair to say that your account has been suspended, and so your levels may change. Getting problems correct will not result in leveling down (even if you only got 2 correct and didn't view the rest).
