Stop adding time when AFK

[horsegal00]

Simple suggestion

Stop adding time to the /playtime /playtime list when you go AFK, cause well your not actually playing when your AFK!

much love for this suggestion, think it would be great, helps with the staff statistics of finding out how active staff really are, as apposed to how much time they've been logged on but possibly not done anything

I think that this idea is a pretty good one!

I dunno, what if a Mod/Admin comes on, is AFK to do something, but is watching the screen for modreqs and keeping an eye on chat? Then that time isn't accounted for in stats and that staff member would be deemed "not online a lot", when they are.

all they'd have to do is press a button once every five minutes to stop themselves going afk if they were monitoring things, or just ask if anyone needed any help

Ahhh.... sparkle has much of a point, adding this would reset the playtime records.... plus I'm not that supportive of the current afk system, I remember back when it was like, 10 min until afk, it was much better, less afk spam.

The solution could be having a 2nd line of the command or option to do /playtime raw, /playtime afk, and the usual /playtime - raw would show the playtime without afk, and the afk will show the afk time. if there is really any point adding this, I think it's up to the plugin guys, if it's not that hard go for it, if it takes some time or impossible, we got other things we need you more, like skyblock or the tnt run plugin

adding this wouldn't need to reset the playtime at all, it could just affect the future not the past, obviously previous afk time is already counted, and im fond of this afk system, it's already helped us to find someone who afk'd a spawner, but yes it is down to the plugin developers

well, if you wish to keep the previous playtime with the "unholy" afk time, be my guest, and if someone chooses to afk at a spawner, it's usually more than 10 min

I never mentioned anything to do with the time suggestion you made, i simply replied to the fact that you said you weren't to supportive of the current afk system, it works and that's the main thing

Honkin your statement that "All they have to do is press a button every 5 minutes", as simple as it sounds is wrong.
When Mods or Admins are actively working on something in the forums, on alternate websites related to Slaps working or discussing among themselves to write/understand something new than hitting a button every 5 minutes is detrimental to the thought process and will most likely not be remembered. Should it be remembered the discussion would be halted slightly and the train of thought would go elsewhere.

AFK time does need an extension, 15 minutes is ok, 5 minutes is too short.
