Your name: Alexander Vialpando
Suggestion: AFK Timer in /TDM.
Why should we add this?: An AFK timer in TDM would be helpful honestly. Instantly tabbing out for any reason or your game might of tabbed itself, it's annoying for you to be kicked and you have to wait 3+ mins to re-join. So, I'm proposing that an AFK timer is created for that very reason. Maybe something like 10 seconds or less would be nice.

Thoughts?

Support, would've just been easier for an AFK timer rather than an auto-kick in the first place.

There already is an AFK timer. You only get kicked out of TDM if you pause for a specific ammount of time (5 seconds, I believe, or 10).

It should be increased a bit, I think it's 5 right now.

It's 7 or 8 seconds. I feel like that's enough, as you players don't usually lag more than 1 - 3 seconds. And, if you're playing TDM, you commit to the length of the game or you can just leave. Why should we tolerate players sitting AFK in that minigame?

My game usually tabs out for no apparent reason or someone calls me on Skype and I have to tab out for a couple of seconds (2-3) to end the call or quickly tab in because my game tabbed me out and I'm kicked instantly. Ten seconds or twelve, nothing more than that.

Do not Disturb exists for a reason :) or just ignore the call until they drop. You should try to fix your game tabbing issues because I've never heard of anyone else having that. If we were to increase the timer it would just lead to players abusing it to not die.
