The exception is......
When resource gathering......Wether you are at your keyboard or not.
If you are at your keyboard...fine....If not...possible trouble.
End to AFK gathering resources?
the only thing that will change from this poll, is that staff will do random inspections, and in case you dont reply in some time (5 minutes) you will be first warned, or if it's not your first offence, jailed for a duration, possibly even nullify your mining/smithy skills, if you keep doing it.
the poll looks like it will be accepted, however formally the poll runs for 15 days. This new rule will go into effect on 25th, if the results stay about the same.

Actually.....There is also another reason for not allowing AFK mining...
Me and Shumi were spawning platinum eles today (To the mirth of many it woulsd appear!) and just as we started a certain person (To remain unnamed) appeared and started macroing mining... Had Shu dragged up an ele that person (Shu was digging as he runed in) he would have been dead and leave us near no way to save his stuff.
This also miffed us a little as we had to leave him and go elsewhere. The spot was in effect taken, as our continuing would have no doubt killed him
Another question occurs....
What if that had happened when we were mining and he DID die?
Would we have been to blame?
We loosed the ele after all

my "Smart PK detect0r copyright colibri 2006 
" would record the name of the one that dug up the elemental, as the Unnamed player's "death causer".
Should he contact staff, we would have a little talk with the one that spawned it.
However, seems like AFK will be forbidden, so it will be your own fault if you die in such a situation.
But, spawning an ele or releasing a pet near someone that's afk in order to cause their death, is considered PK and not tolerated. All of this is kind of a grey area, cannot always be proven, but well in theory this rule exists. Not written anyplace nice, the rules section is still under construction.
