I was just banned from a server for being AFK

I kid you not, I join a server that is playing Basrah, spawn as Insurgent, and then my cell phone rings. I go prone in a field, to avoid being seen, and then walk out of the room with my phone. I come back 5 minutes later and it says "You have been kicked from the server yadda yadda yadda." So I think "Okay, it was just an AFK kick, I'll just join back in." I go to rejoin the server and it says I am BANNED.

When server licenses are given out, servers should have to agree to some sort of fairness doctrine, which would include not BANNING people for being AFK.

And?

You don't give anyserver information. You should contact the server, not the PR forums.

Some servers may have you wait 2 minutes before you can rejoin.

I tried again 10 minutes later.

Ironically, the server name was something along the lines of:
PRMM Mini Mod v0.6b

pretty common occurance, usually just a short ban, for the length of the round or the like.

really, really, really don't need people posting here everytime something happens on a server they don't like.

locked.
