How about a self-temporary ban?

I think the root of the problem is that there are people here who spend 16 hours a day on this website and it's taken over their lives. Take a break! Go outside! Go post on some other site! Jesus people.

Says one of the users who seems to be here quite often.

No one will temporarily 'ban' themselves. Yes, they might take a break.

I think it's time to think about 'purgatory' votes: allow users to vote on placing some items in a 'purgatory' sub.

No, seriously. How about an "I'm going to take a break from the website for a week" button and then you're off for a week. It would do wonders for some people to be relieved.
