Have you ever been in a game and you had to get off the computer a little to do something? When you come back, you find out you got disconnected from the game. So I though ROBLOX could add an in-game AFK button. When you press it, a force field will be put around you and you can not move. The AFK button allows you to stay on the game without being disconnected for being idle for too long. Post what you think. If you don't like this idea, please post why. Thank you.

Are you thick? An AFK button would be abusable. TO THE MAX. Just before being slain one could use the AFK button to get out of dieing, and besides that, people can leave their characters on AFK and keep them in servers just to waste ROBLOX's money.

This a wonderful idea. But I want to make some suggestions. First, when a player clicks the AFK button, they can't move or equip a weapon or any tool while AFK, so they don't kill them with a forcefield. And Second, The AFK button should be down at the bottom of the screen near the HUD and should have a little button closing and opening it so it doesn't get in people's way.

Okay. Thanks for your support. Also, it should have options saying how long you want to be in AFK mode. For example, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. And it could only be used once a game.

Well to have it not abused you could just use it if you are afk and be frozen and not be killed but have ROBLOX somehow find a way to control it for un-abuse.

KingDragonRider has made the most flawless version of this, yet I still didn't support his. So there's no chance I'm supporting this. ⌠Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.⌡

Roblox is wasting money to keep you in-game or in the server, while your character isn't doing anything. I don't like the idea.
