I personally don't like to see RC's idling (unless its for a very short time). Thats just how I was raised on Classic to believe though. I feel if you're on staff you should either be there or not be connected.

I do idle on RC 24/7.

When I get home, if the RC window is open and I can read the scrollback, then I join in the conversation and develop.

If it isn't open, then you probably won't see me on Graal for a week.


There should certainly be no global enforcing of this, ever. It's entirely server-centric. Making a global intervene in this sort of thing is a good way to unnecessarily flex muscle and pit yourself against the people you're suppose to be helping the most.

I'd also like to go on to say that no server should disallow idling on RC. Having an environment with no 'hostility' is extremely critical for development to happen. Forcefully disconnecting people is not a good way to do this. (I personally stopped developing on Classic for a couple months just because I was continuously being disconnected by another staff member at one point.)


Regarding the "you should be there to help" issue, there is an away icon for a reason. If that isn't satisfactory, rescript the playerlist to not even show RCs that are away.

And helping is almost entirely secondary to making sure there is actually content to help with. No criteria about support should overrule one that makes developing more enjoyable.


I've always felt that the RC "no-idling" rule was one of those backwards criteria that fall under "making life harder for developers" and I'd like to see it phased out.

To me rc is a private chatroom for the staffs not some stupid support desk for noobs, you have staffs on tag for that.
