'Away' Mode

Captin Simpson · Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 4:02 am

Ever try and go into the bar and finally get into room 1 when lots of people are idling? Well, 'Away' mode is activated when the person has no activity for more then 2 minutes and it kicks them out if somebody attempts to get into room 1. If they are all active, you get into room 2 as normal.

What do you think?

Eh, I think two minutes is too short.. I think the normal idling time should suffice for now. Besides, Row would be getting kicked out all the time.. Grin grin

Umm.. mods aren't really excluded from anything.. That would be dumb. But seriously, two minutes is too short. And I wouldn't want to be kicked early just because someone wants to get into bar 1. That would end up infuriating everyone. Besides, most people on warbears are also doing something else in another window and I wouldn't want to check back into my warbears window every two minutes. Plus this rule would have to work on all locations and the only place where this wouldn't apply would be shops, the SL, and houses.

I didn't say it would apply to one location only. I was using the bar as a plain example as its the most likely to fill up room 1.

Mods can ignore the idling rule by the way...

There is no idling rule any more, but yes, moderators can't be idle-kicked. And can you elaborate, because to me this sounds exactly like the ten minute absence idling-kick

The idle kick just kicks you out after 10 mins as usual. My idea is setting a time for that and if the place is full they get kicked if somebody wants to enter that location's room 1. Perhaps 7 minutes instead of 2...

So basically they get kicked earlier if it's full and room 2 is being used?

Two minutes sounds cruel.

I don't know, I mean people are almost always going to want to get into bar 1, and a difference of 3 minutes seems pointless

If we had this, then nobody would need to be idle-kicked.
