Ok so I'll be honest here, I have no idea how to do this, but here's the suggestion.

Stop AFK Point Farmers
The name speaks for itself, but for those who don't know what I mean, I'll explain it in detail.
Quite often I'll log on Sandbox and see a dead person or two who have been dead for several hours. Every map change they either get spawnkilled or pushed out of spawn to be killed. My point is, they're afk. Yet they're still sitting there racking up points. So my suggestion is basically like implement a code or something to detect if a player has gone afk (no activity for, lets say, 30 minutes, or on servers with teams, they're on the "Spectator" or the "Unassigned" teams), and this would disable earning points until activity has been detected again. I don't know about the other servers, but there's a few afk point farmers on Sandbox and Prop Hunt. I usually kick them, to stop them from point farming. I don't think it's fair to be able to collect points just for being on the server and that's it. You can just stand there for 12 hours, come back and you just gained 10,800 points for doing absolutely nothing. Almost makes donating for points seem not worth it because you can just afk farm them.

I dunno, just what I think. What about you guys? Feedback would be appreciated, as well as alternative ideas on how to handle it.
As always, Poll is down below.
Should SaintLuther implement an anti-AFK-Point-Farming feature?

usually if an admin is on we do have them kicked on darkrp, but of course thats not always true. sometimes there are many many people afk, so we cant votekick them. 100% agree on this one

On any server if you are on team spectator (1002) or unassigned (1001) you will not get points. I could also add a timer to check if someone is dead every 1 minutes, and if they're dead again 2 minutes in a row, they'll be put into a "no points mode" until the timer sees that they're alive.

What about the people who aren't dead, but are still afk? Can't you check for activity instead of simply if they're dead or not, because some game modes, you're dead for about 3-4 minutes depending on how long the round lasts (like prop hunt or Jailbreak)

I mean I would just put that on Sandbox. If you're AFK on Jailbreak, you'll just get put onto unassigned/spectator the next map change and you won't get points. Same for TTT and Prop Hunt. Deathrun would still need something else, and ZS too iirc.

You should also make it to where they wont get any game time. I've noticed some people do that to gain some time so they don't have to actually play to get the requirements for Operator/Admin.

I've noticed that as well, but I don't know how difficult that will be to add in, but I will if I am able to.
