Why do we even have this when we literally have 6 players on the server sometimes? It's pointless. Petition to remove this freature. Edit: The server feels lonely, and we don't have 50 players anymore. Maybe extending the time to 20-30 minutes could help, since getting kicked for only 10 minutes of afk time is maybe a really short time. Thanks for quoting this thread and making me edit to get a valid reason, really appreciate it. Added Feueristic 's reasoning, getting an AFK tag to notify other players that a certain member is AFK. Maybe just a change of color could work, like light gray. And since OP's have no access to GMSP, this color could work.

I think the reason it was added was to make it easier to figure out how active an admin/player really is.
Like sks has asked, why do you think this feature should be removed? You can't just ask for something to be removed without any evidence that a change is needed. Personally, I don't see any reason for it to be removed and therefore at this given time I object. If you give me incentive to change my vote I may reconsider.

why do you want afk players on? The server is dead, and 10 minutes of afk time is just way too short. If auto afk-kick is not getting removed, maybe a longer afk time like 20-30 minutes would do. The server just feels lonely without many players, and we don't have 50 players anymore.

It takes like a few seconds for an AFK player to simply rejoin. If they don't, they probably were not going to come back from AFK other than to close their game anyways.

For once, I actually object on removing the Anti-AFK. Personally, I find it better to kick off AFK players than them obtaining a player slot, for example, I forgot Minecraft while in the server yesterday for a couple of hours while I work. Thankfully I got kicked out for being AFK which is better than an operator asking help while you're away.

To be honest, I do see the advantage of keeping AFK players online because it does make the server seem more active at first glance and it is known that people are more likely to join a full server than an empty one. It just doesn't sound very ethical to do it for that reason only.

Vouch. Simple point: What's "Total Freedom" if you couldn't even AFK for 10 minutes? I believe this is somewhat of a relic when we didn't have enough resources for players to stay on the server but be inactive. Considering how the server is a bit more stable resource-wise, I don't see the need for this anymore. Thankfully I got kicked out for being AFK which is better than an operator asking help while you're away. Maybe we could add some form of AFK tag on tablist to notify players that a certain member is AFK? I've seen servers done this, personally found it effective and useful.

I vouch for this exactly, I'm not sure if this is how it's done currently, but admin activity should ignore AFK time if this is implemented (plan already gives this info)

The only problem is that, people can take advantage of afk players.
