Automatic afk-kick?

[Hypernoma]

Ok time for a more technical answer; this is indeed a nice idea but on the coding side it has one problem that jumps out and slaps me in the face. An auto-afk kick would require another process to be running against every player on a server constantly. While on other PvP mods this is fine, the amount of processes that we constantly have running in the back ground due to the bots, cades, healing etc etc will make it rather difficult. While this could still be possible to run, it stands a high chance of making servers more laggy and increasing the chance of server crashes. This is not so say we won't have a look at it and see what the effect on a server would be, but rather advice not to hold your breath.

I encourage the use of IRC to report afk players, I kicked several last night while playing myself so it's not a huge issue. In regards to bias, I like to think there is none. I certainly could not care who I kick from a server and have kicked afk admins before. As for houses, I don't care what house they are from, that does not entitle ou to special treatment. I keep an eye on the names of players that are constantly being reported (a lovely feature of the banhammer) and this is what will determine whether a player receives a warning or not. If you feel admins are being bias or are not acting in a manner befitting their station then you are able to contact me and I will investigate any allegations.
