If you skip a task, you will not be able to do it.
I am sorry this seems to have caused some confusion. Maybe it is my lack of knowledge of English language, but for me the word "skip" made it clear and even according to my dictionary it means "To pass over", "to miss" or "to fail to attend". So I though the word was pretty clear, otherwise we would have used something like "postpone" or "cycle".
The idea that people might think skipping a task would allow them to make it at a later point did not even occur to me, nor did the usefulness of such an option: Since you do not have time limits for a task it makes absolutely no different at all whether you do a task now, or skip it and do it later.
For the regular quests, what are the options you get when you are offered a quest by an NPC? I know there's an option to accept, one to turn it down but be able to choose it later, and one to reject it completely & remove it from the list, but I can't remember how they are worded. I know that the last one is really clear that if you choose it, you lose out on that one forever.
"Skip" in American English is often used the same way as "postpone", putting something off to do later. I'm too tired right now, though, to think of a good word that clearly means to permanently skip something.
