You can stay logged in if players are on your screen. You don't need to perform any actions. You shouldn't have to log out because you run to the bathroom, answer your door, answer your phone or your internet connection drops while your at luna bank.
The character does not have to be macroing or doing anything else against the rules: Being AFK itself is grounds for a penalty. When paged on an AFK player the GM will generally try 2-3 times to get the character to respond either by appearing in front of him and speaking or sending him /tell's. Then he'll either send the character to a locked room in Buc's Den with a nasty note on the wall and a teleporter or insta-log him with a suspension if the account has been flagged before.
The Rules of Service say this in Rule 6: "You may not leave an active character or pet in game while unattended. If your character is performing a skill, text or action, you must be able to respond to a Game Master when one attempts to speak to you." (http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=347.)
Umm no just sitting at a busy bank(luna) will keep the character logged in .
That name it self should get him banned in my opinion
Yes it will... If you have the option set to "show names of approaching players". This is considered an action by the GM's.
It doesn't take a script to stay logged in at Luna. It seems that if there are players constantly moving on and off your screen, this will keep you logged into the game. I once forgot to logout at my house by Britain Moongate. I came back a couple of hours later surprised to find myself still logged in. Thus my theory since Brit moongate is still quite a well traveled one on Pacific.
I don't have that checked and I stay logged in at luna bank. Since my laptop is right beside my chair I will leave my character logged on while I am getting my baby to sleep and I don't have to move my character or do any other action if I am at luna bank. I just keep looking at them just in case someone talks to me.
Correct!and we will never knowWait 24 hours and learn a lesson
Golden Rule: Log out if you cannot be there to respond to GMs.
It is kinda lame to get a suspension IF he wasnt unattended macroing though. There is probably more to this story....

No, I am. That's Kiss of Death.
Actually, if this was that broad at the rares fest who was yelling for Tomas Bryce to show himself so she could see her ecru necklace, or something along those lines, in a Europa gold robe, then, and of course this is from the best of my memory, they said something along these lines.Correct!and we will never knowWait 24 hours and learn a lesson

Ur high, Devs stated number's of times going back to the real UO fourms that you can be afk as long as you wish, as long as your not preforming any actions or skills. A person will not or should not get banned for simply being AFK. Show names is not an action, its a menu option, here is your sign.
Wrong.
This sounds like a post you add in before you lock a thread...
No, you are wrong. "All Names" is an assignable action. All my thieves had it hotkeyed to Z and instantly shows the names of all payers on the screen
Yeah, it's not an action that you, the player, perform... But does it make your client perform an action?
You always get an email. The problem is sometimes it can take a couple days. Your suspension can expire before you get it.
Killed, stolen from, etc are fine.. but I would love to see a statement from EA saying that taking a **** while your character is logged in can get you banned.
