AFK in serverbots

I have had a few frustrating experiences with people being afk in an autohost, and i dont think that !votekick or relying on rights for each server is an adequate solution. Is there any possibility of an automatic kick on 3 mins of afk'ness being implemented?

Yeah I can add that.. however there are legitimate reasons to be AFK .. I think there should be special command like !kickafk

Yep. Waiting for players to join, waiting for game to start (although I usually click "ready" before going AFK if I'm waiting for game to start).

!kickafk would be a much better solution, I didnt think of that
e: just thought, the reason relying on !kick was a problem is that people often do not have rights on the server, wouldn't the same problem arise with !kickafk?

It depends on settings of individual autohosts

I cannot enforce that ..

maybe implement both? The person running the bot could configure the afk time till autokick, and people with rights could kick em too.

Yeah I can add both.
Thing is I dont think that timer is good idea. For example I often join empty autohsot and sit there for long time. My status is often AFK but as soon as server fills up they ring me and I'm ready to play.
