New productivity tool launches Friday. Thoughts and feature requests?

The idea aside, deleting my stuff would be incredibly annoying.

Say the default is a day, which I assume it is from the write up. There are a ton of valid reasons I might miss a day, or even a week, e.g. medical reasons. And to come back and have my stuff deleted! Man, I don't know what else to say about that except I don't like it.

Thanks for bringing this up. There will be a vacation switch you can flip on and off. When it's on, your chains are frozen and won't be deleted.

What other thoughts do you have on it? We'd really like to know!

What about not deleting the stuff at all, so you can do away with the vacation switch too? I wouldn't touch a site that stresses me at all about my data.

I'd lose the karma reward too. It's plain bribery, and it devaluates your site's karma.

You're right, on both counts. Simpler's better. We wanted to help motivate people.. But treating it like a game is probably the wrong way to do it.
