KiteAFK
An /afk command that tells members who ping you that you're away, and welcomes you back when you talk again.
How it works
Members use /afk with an optional reason, like /afk lunch, and the bot confirms it and adds [AFK] in front of their nickname.
When someone pings a member who is AFK, the bot replies with their reason and how long ago they went AFK. As soon as the AFK member sends a message, the bot welcomes them back, removes their AFK and takes [AFK] off their nickname. AFK is per server, so being AFK in one server doesn't show in another.

Get startedFrequently Asked Questions
Does the bot ping anyone when it replies?
No. Its replies mention the members by name, but pings are turned off, so the AFK member doesn't get pinged a second time.
Why didn't my nickname change?
The bot needs the Manage Nicknames permission, and its role has to be above yours. It can never change the nickname of the server owner. If [AFK] and your nickname together are longer than 32 characters, Discord's limit, the bot leaves your nickname as it is. AFK still works without the nickname.
What if a message pings several members?
The bot answers for one of them, skipping the author. Role pings don't count. Replying to a message of an AFK member counts too, unless the reply has its ping turned off.
How many credits does it use?
Messages cost nothing unless they come from or ping an AFK member. Using /afk costs up to 3 credits, for saving the AFK, replying and changing the nickname. Coming back costs 3 as well, and each reply about an AFK member costs 1.
