[Hosting Status] Temporary adjustment

[amnesiac84]

The General Assembly 2019 voted in favour of a temporary adjustment of the Hosting Interest setting.

The temporary adjustment of the "Hosting Interest" setting should best be an additional, separate feature, both on the website and for the purpose of the vote.

The temporary setting would allow you to adjust your Hosting Interest Setting up or down for periods in which you are more or less available than normally, or not at all.

Some examples:

1. You have your hosting status on YES. It will be automatically converted to 8 on the HI scale when it is introduced. That leaves you in a similar position in the search results. But your holidays are coming up and you will be staying home, eager to have guests during those 3 weeks. So you set your profile to 10 and indicate the date at which it goes back to 8 at the end of the period.

2. You have your hosting status on MAYBE. It will be automatically converted to 4 on the HI scale when it is introduced. But you are heading for a 2-month trip through South East Asia and won't be able to reply or host. You set your profile to NOT HOSTING and it automatically reverts to YES with the original setting of "4" after two months when your mind is still on SE Asia and not on remembering your BW profile.

3. You can't normally host and your profile is on NO. But the upcoming 4 weeks you will be able to. So you make a tempory YES setting of 10 which automatically reverts to NO after 4 weeks.

Ideally the start of the period could also be set on a calendar, and optionally be displayed on the profile.
