Disable automatic kicking for "being idle"

Players and administrators alike are kicked for "being idle" after a period of not moving or executing any commands.  I can see the reasoning behind this (preventing players from joining and minimizing the window in order to accumulate playtime) but it's inhibiting of staffmembers who monitor the server chat (and the commands of players) as they're being automatically kicked from the server.

This suggestion is to either exempt administrators from the autokick mechanism or get rid of it altogether for the sake of not having to rejoin every five minutes.  Staffing is more important than measuring the activity of operators.

My post shouldn't be confused with this suggestion which establishes a different premise for removing the feature.
