    Alright Alright, hear me out. /AFK is not given to players because it's spammy. 100% true. I respect that. But what about this:

    1. Only give it to VIP+ Ranks. This could prevent minimal spam, because tbh, who would spend $30 just to spam the server.

    2. Add a cooldown. Suggested by Marx, we add a 30 second (or more) cooldown to add /AFK.

    3. Mods can takeaway the power. /AFK would be a privilege. Mods+ would be able to remove the command from certain players if abused. Possibly with /RemoveAFK (Player) (Reason) and a chat message would pop on screen saying "You're usage of /AFK has been removed for (x) reason.".

    plz add 10/10

    I guess, but I don't see the difference in effort of typing "afk" and typing "/afk"; both work just as effectively.

    but if u move in /afk, it automatically says ur not afk. plus I think if ur afk, and someone msg's you, it tells them ur afk so that's good when someone first logs in and starts msg'ing you thinking ur there.

    It doesn't tell them that you are afk if they try to message you, but if you do /seen you can tell.

    To be honest I think that saying afk or brb is enough. And in the case of someone trying to message you, other players usually fill in and say you're afk

    We certainly can't trust any of the VIP+ to not spam, can we

    I think leo should go into CH and make an afkmode thing. It dosent send chat spam messages, meaning all ranks can use it, and whenever someone pings you it ,essages them back in /msg saying something like 'Sorry im AFK right now'

    It would be cool if there was /warp afk and there is a massive afk pool

    That isn't the point, the point is to notify other players that you are AFK when they ping you.

    But when you go /warp afk is says {name} is afk and when they go back to creative/survival it says {name} no longer afk

    1. Honestly, /warp afk is ALOT more effort then it works, because then you'd have to /back, fly to your location, etc. It's too much work.
    2. /warp afk. /afk. afk. "AFK" is shorter, but it's useless in this sense. /AFK is short, and fits the needs. /Warp AFK is too long.

    I honestly don't think this is necessary, although I do understand where you're coming from with this, it just doesn't make sense, since you can always just say afk or brb. However, if someone's trying to message you when you're afk, and no one knows you are, we could add a plugin whereas if someone tries to message you after 15 minutes of you not moving/silent in chat, a message could pop up notifying the person messaging you that you're afk.

    I think it should be more like 2, 15 is kind of drastic.

    Maybe like instead of someone manually doing /afk, it could be like if you're 2 minutes or whatever minutes idle then it automatically turns you AFK. Then you wouldn't have spam and stuff

    That could also have the problem of people getting annoyed because they're not actually afk
