Is this a mistake?

[Faustie]

Our AFK-kick system is there to give everyone a chance to play on our servers, and if you bypass it with a macro then you're being unfair to other players and taking up a slot on the server. You should certainly be punished for this. However, I think a permanent suspension is too much; I find it hard to classify a macro as "hacks, cheats or exploits" when it doesn't hack the server, offer you an in-game advantage, or exploit a fault in our system. The system wasn't compromised, you just used a macro your end to bypass it - the exact same as when people go afk for 10 minutes, press a key, and afk again. The macro is extreme, though - perhaps a month would be more appropriate?
