I know AFK-frozen doesn't mean to be specifically off your keyboard, but voice commands can sometimes make the character model move, using keys from the keyboard. Just an idea, I think it shouldn't count as AFK-frozen, but idk I made a poll.

Away From Keyboard
Yeah, but it from what you're saying. jumping isn't AFK-freeze as long as you're using scroll wheel??
I'm trying to say AFK-freeze doesn't necessarily mean to be off your keyboard, but it means that you can't move e.t.c.

I disagree, shouting medic or help doesn't really give reds an advantage.
If it really is annoying you just say no voice commands

Correct me if I'm wrong here, and I probably am, but can't voice lines go off without command input? I swear my zombie scout does a battle cry at random at least.
If that's the case it could make things trickier, but regardless of whether it's the case or not it's not really putting the BLUs in any threat so I don't see why it should be stopped. Maybe things have changed but in my early understanding AFK freeze was less about just putting the REDs to a halt and more to handling them all together in a way that makes rebels easier to pick out when they run off.
Plus sometimes the AFK wait can be a long one and voice commands gives REDs something interactive to do while they're stuck there.

Things like battle cries are only done when you're either in combat, have a killstreak, and for heavy, you are firing for a long period of time. I'm talking about things like Go! Go! Go! and Move Up! where it moves your character physically.
