I have found a way to display AFK players in the tab list. The auto-afk time right now is 5 minutes. There is currently no auto-kick time for AFK players yet, but I may make that one hour to allow people to be AFK but not AFK for an extended amount of time.
1 hour is too short to be honest, I am pretty sure you are a sleep and left your computer on if you've been afk for 3 hours. one hour is justified for taking a huge dump. just my opinion
I feel like we shouldn't have the afk-kick on the build server. All it will do is get people to make anti-afk machines again.
You should just keep it at the tab-list afk thing.
You know what I say.

Curiosity - if you are taking a huge dump, why do you need to stay connected to the server exactly? Is it *that* much of a hardship to press 2 buttons and rejoin?
I say make the autokick 10 minutes and lazy ass people can suck it the fuck up.
EDIT: if you *must* know what happend while you're gone, IRC. /EDIT
As for anti-afk machines, there's a reason we have rules and make them against them.
There are methods of anti-afk prevention. Be it plugins or rules.
I think that if a user does not move for more than one hour he/she should not be on at all. I've added the ~AFK suffix in 1.8 so that people see who is AFK.
Nothing is more disheartening than entering a new server, say "hello" to the 12 users online and get a reply from the 3 people who are not AFK.
There will be an auto-kick time. For now, it will remain one hour. The auto-afk time is currently 5 minutes.
Sometimes when I'm playing or doing something else I have minecraft on my second monitor, just watching it. I have added another feature that will help against those who aren't exactly AFK, but just aren't paying attention to the game.
Being the biggest culprit of being AFK for prolonged periods... I am actually 100% for AFK kicks and the tab menu ~AFK.
As Tyler mentioned, it sucks joining and realizing the people u wanted to talk to.. are ALL afk..
I liked the hour long time as before, I kinda wouldn't mind a 30 min. Timer.... but as nick does, I have MC open on a 2nd monitor, and I have 3 screens total, so I spend a fair amount of time watching chat while doing other things.. and 30 min would be to frequent for my likeing when those situations arise.
