In the rules on the Runescape main page, this is what they had to say about AFK At least once or twice have we all said to our friends "Brb" or "Afk" but haven't logged out because we know we'll be back before the auto-log off kicks in. For example, while you're fishing, chopping yews, etc. you decide to go get a drink, grab a snack, whatever and leave your computer with your account on...which is still training. Occasionally coming back to move the in-game camera so you wouldn't log off while you do something else. Is this a bannable offense? As the rules said, we should log off when we leave our computer, but does it go to the point where it's only for a few seconds? What about if you want to keep your "spot" in a place, e.g world 2 or staying on a good team in Castle Wars?
