You are expected to be able to respond to people within a reasonable time frame if you are logged in with your character. If you have to go away for a short time, that's fine, but if you are leaving for a while, and won't be paying attention to the screen, log out. If you are unresponsive to others, you are less interesting and valuable than an NPC, and we can simply make some NPCs that are more responsive than you. If a creator finds you unresponsive, yet performing actions, but can't prove that you are cheating, they are within their rights to test your responsiveness and take action if you fail to respond.
