Duplicate Don't turn off AFK/Busy status when a message or command is sent

[dot Comfey]

I'm suggesting this because I often use the AFK status to mark reduced activity as well as completely AFK. During "reduced activity", I usually browse the internet, and when I check on PS, I look at the rooms I'm in to see what's going on. I also might send small messages and use some commands, but doing that results in the AFK status becoming removed, and I need to turn it back on again. When I do one of those actions, I would say that I'm still in reduced activity, and when my activity goes back to normal, I indicate it with /back. For the Idle status, I think that sending a message should keep the same behavior of marking yourself as back because Idle is automatically set.

That's what the /busy command is for, it won't mark you as back unless you do it explicitly with the command.
