    [I have edited all of this so please read it again thank you.]

    Okay so let get into this.

    So it would it work like this.. in chat when one of your friends does /afk or whatever the command your friends will get a message saying something like..

    Your friend [name] has gone afk.

    But only friends will receive this message no others on the server will.

    But if you do not want to see this at all there could be a command like /afk off or something else.

    And maybe doesn't have to be added, when someone messages you and you are /afk it would say something like when the mods are afk like

    [Name] is afk right now and may not respond.

    Thank you for reading ❤

    Would cause more spam in the chat than we really need. You can simply just change your nick or just not reply.

    Just to be clear it only says it in chat of the people you have in /friend :)
    But if you knew this that's fine thanks for taking your time to read this ❤

    Neutral. What if a player has many friends? It would just be the same it announced in chat.

    I apologise; I did not read the entire post. My bad.

    I'm actually going to support this. It doesn't cause spam in chat, your friends get notified that you are AFK, and it is overall helpful. The only issue I see is that it will be the same command as the moderator's /afk so the command will have to change (/f afk maybe?). It's not hugely needed as most people would assume you are AFK if you aren't talking in chats or replying to their messages but I can see the usefulness of this.

    I would suggest changing to mods command and then use /afk for everyone else

    Support. Although I would suggest a command like /afkstatus <player> to check on a players status.

    Neutral,

    We should make this command for Skytitans+ only, and this would create spam much.

    Support it's a would allow people to know when your afk when they message you and it won't spam chat because it will only say it when someone messages you

    Support! Since this will be seen only by friends meaning no spam in public chat I think would be a cool feature that is added!

    Neutral, it's not overly necessary and even though it's not a global chat message it still may cause problems.

    Maybe we could use the command I suggested (/afkstatus) to check if a player is afk and not have any messages show up to all players, which may (???) solve some problems

    I really like the idea because sometimes you never know if your friends are just afk or just not moving at all, but everyone seems to be worry about chat being spam. So my decision is Neutral atm.

    Agreed with more spam and this will be abused a lot.
    No support.

    EDIT: Actually, with just an AFK message from msg, sure, but still no support sry.
    O, and there wound be any spam but still no support sry.

    No support, it will abuse chat a lot more. If /afk be visible for friends, then I 100% support

    It would probably not cause spam in the chat in less it's your friend is doing it to you since the part where it says only your friends will see that you have gone afk, but if this is still a problem I can add a part where you can do /afk friend off where you can no longer see your friends go AFK if that works

    If you read it all the way through you would see it says only people in /friend will see the msg of your afk


    Sorry what you said is confusing the words are all over the place do you mean,

    It would cause spam because if you read what I said to bard their is a idea if you still think it would cause spam even though it says only you and people in your /friend can see the msg

    And the edit part just kinda makes no sense if you can re-wright that, it would be great

    Neutral. Besides the fact that only friends would see it, I can still see it being abused and cause unnecessary chat. Possibly if it just shows [AFK] next to your name, when you message them, as it would with how a Mod afk's, just no message, I could reconsider.
