People should not play when theyre up to other stuff then and should see that the only entity they should be angry at are themselves, for going afk in the first place. You do not HAVE to go afk, you know? Its all your own fault when you do and people have to face their own responsibilities, not go and blame it on a system, admins or other players. Ive got no compassion at all for people who - as in the example - say "Afk for 10 minutes." when facing a pretty tough boss and are being kicked, causing them to be angry. Let the dimwits rage, I say..
2. Well, ANYTHING posted in here as a feature request or proposal is more possible work for the devs, duh. I have not seen you going into other proposal quests saying "No, bad idea, it means more work for devs.", sorry. Moreover, Id like to emphasize the part in my first post where I said that Ive got no clue about programming, so if a dev told me "Sorry, this idea would blow all other scripts up/means so much programming that we could hardly do anything else anymore" Id be completelly fine with that; this is just an idea to take into consideration, not an order.
On the other hand, just something to think about for a while: Handling afk-reports does also consume time off our devs in their role as people who uphold the rules here. Comparing the possible amount of afk reports (->infinite) with the time it may take to write a script as proposed (-> maybe alot of time, maybe little time) actually leaves you with the impression, that the script may take future work off them, because they had one problem less to care about.
