I wanted to give you some feedback about suggestions that we add an AFK feature. The idea is that a user can mark themselves as "Away from Keyboard" and be safe from dying by being pushed off things or being killed by other players.

Response:

I talked to the devs and the consensus is that each game builder/scripter could decide to program an AFK system into their own GUI. ROBLOX should not be forcing AFK systems onto builders/scripters who may not want it.

So basically, if you want AFK for your game you can script it yourself and add an AFK button for your players.

Here is a thread about how to make an AFK button and script for your place

Finally, that thread can die.
Why wasn't it killed sooner?

Also, I have a follow-up,

Why aren't my ideas given a personal thread killing them?

Yeah, it'd be better making it yourself, instead of having it implemented as an official feature where it may easily break or disrupt any existing or future places.
